The first section of the article is dedicated to a general characterization of the mode of accumulation during the Kirchnerist governments, highlighting the political and economic challenges that the Cambiemos project sought to address. Subsequently, it provides a general description of the mode of accumulation during the Cambiemos administration, analyzing the economic and political reasons behind the 2018 agreements with the IMF. Finally, the article discusses the consequences of the financial crisis and the government's response (primarily resorting to the IMF Stand-By Arrangement) for the hegemonic project of Cambiemos, concluding that the IMF's conditions played a decisive role in the disarticulation of the Macrist political project. Paradoxically, however, they also contributed to a transformation in the broader political system, ultimately deepening the predominance of the form of capital that Macrismo sought to represent. A partir de una revisión del estado del arte –especialmente enfocada en el campo del marxismo y del neoestructuralismo, aunque no exclusivamente– y de una exploración de fuentes primaras y secundarias, el artículo reconstruye una mirada de conjunto del proceso económico-político del gobierno de Cambiemos, focalizándose en torno al rol de los acuerdos con el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) y sus consecuencias para con el proyecto hegemónico del macrismo. La primera sección del artículo está dedicada a una caracterización general del modo de acumulación durante los gobiernos kirchneristas, señalando la problemática política y económica a la que el proyecto de Cambiemos buscó dar respuesta. Luego, se presenta una descripción general del modo de acumulación durante la gestión de Cambiemos, analizando los motivos económicos y políticos que condujeron a los acuerdos con el FMI del 2018. Finalmente, se indican las consecuencias que tuvieron la crisis financiera y la respuesta que dio el gobierno para con el proyecto hegemónico de Cambiemos. Se concluye que las condicionalidades del organismo internacional jugaron un papel decisivo en la desarticulación del proyecto político del macrismo pero que paradójicamente contribuyeron a producir una modificación en el conjunto del sistema político que resultó en una profundización del predominio de la forma del capital que el macrismo intentó representar.  Universidad Nacional de Rosario - Centro de Investigaciones Sociales (CIS) IDES /CONICET 2025-12-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares application/pdf https://www.estudiossocialesdelestado.org/index.php/ese/article/view/399 10.35305/ese.v11i22.399 Estudios Sociales del Estado; Vol. 11 Núm. 22 (2025) 2422-7803 spa https://www.estudiossocialesdelestado.org/index.php/ese/article/view/399/313
