| Sumario: | Economics and economic history studies that dealt with the years of Raúl Alfonsín’s government (1983-1989) gave less importance to the vision, interpretation and controversies raised by the first Minister of Economy Bernardo Grinspun (1983-1985). Especially, and taking into account his economic failure, compared to the studies and testimonies of collaborators and officials of his successor in the Ministry of Economy, Juan Sourrouille (1985-1989). The article analyzes Grinspun’s vision of economic policies while he served as Secretary of Economic Planning, focusing on the debates raised and the alternatives and proposals for economic policy. The sources studied were speeches, official documents and bibliography of Grinspun, as well as press and public statistics and testimonies about the period. 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. In particular, highlighting his postulates on the need for financial reform as a driving force to recover growth and reduce inflation levels. |
