A PROTESTA AGRARIA DA BURGUESÍA AGROPECUARIA NA ARXENTINA CONTEMPORÁNEA. CONCENTRACIÓN DA PRODUCIÓN, RENDA DA TERRA E UNIDADE CORPORATIVA DA BURGUESÍA AGROPECUARIA, 1970-2008

Abstract

Argentina has recently been shocked by an intense mobilization process of the agrarian bourgeoisie. For the whole 2008, the country held in suspense by the conflict, in which agricultural corporations confronted violently with the national government. Agricultural protest is not new, and tells us much about the basis on which the national economy is sustained. In this article we will review the major conflicts involving this fraction of the ruling class throughout the twentieth century, with special attention to the changes and continuities experienced by the phenomenon. We’ll try, from this historical overview, to explain not only the determinations of the recent conflicts, but also some of the elements that help to understand the itinerary of the Argentina economy and its most recent crisis.
