| Sumario: | This paper discusses simplistic interpretations about the inefficiency of Argentine industrialization during the period considered as “import substitution”. From this general perspective, it´s argued that some large projects undertaken by various planning agencies contemplated both the progress of industrialization as substitute industrial export where the reasons for “national defense” or autarky were relegated in pursuit of the resolution of the insufficiency of currency and the achievement of greater productive efficiency. Specifically, we analyzed the case of the installation of an aluminum plant in the late sixties. The creation of the company Aluar, which was finally in charge of the project, responded to a state initiative that considered especially that it was economically viable and competitive in international terms. |
