Durante esos años, estas compañías, a pesar de la ayuda estatal, declararon sus quiebras y posteriormente fueron puestas en venta. Sin embargo, los dueños de las firmas resultaron beneficiados de estas transacciones, ya que previamente el Estado se hizo cargo de sus pasivos. Nuestro planteo es que estas reestructuraciones fueron parte de una estrategia de negocios por parte de sus propietarios que les permitió obtener ganancias al emplear sus empresas como activos para la especulación.   application/pdf text/html https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2105 10.56503/H-Industria/n.28(15)pp.181-196 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2105/2813 https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2105/2823 H-industria.
