We sustain that analyzing Grinspun’s vision of the economy and economic policy allows us to understand the tension between the economic visions within the ruling party and the alternative proposals that the former Minister formulated to face the economic problems of the period.

Los estudios de economía e historia económica que abordaron los años de gobierno de Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989) dieron menor importancia a la visión, interpretación y controversias planteadas por el primer ministro de Economía, Bernardo Grinspun (1983-1985). Especialmente, y teniendo en cuenta su fracaso económico,frente a los estudios y testimonios de colaboradores y funcionarios de su sucesor en el Ministerio de Economía, Juan Sourrouille (1985-1989). El artículo analiza la visión de Grinspun sobre las políticas económicas mientras se desempeñó como secretario de Planificación Económica poniendo el foco en los debates planteados y las alternativas y propuestas de política económica. Las fuentes estudiadas fueron discursos, documentos oficiales y bibliografía de Grinspun, como también prensa, estadísticas públicas y testimonios sobre el periodo. Sostenemos que analizar la visión sobre la economía y la política económica de Grinspun permite conocer la tensión entre las visiones económicas al interior del partido gobernante y las propuestas alternativas que el exministro formuló para enfrentar los problemas económicos del periodo. Especialmente, destacando sus postulados sobre la necesidad de una reforma financiera como elemento dinamizador para recuperar el crecimiento y reducir los niveles de inflación.
