Abstract
Entre 1900 y 1935, la economía argentina experimentó importantes cambios desde una orientación fuertemente especializada en la exportación de productos primarios a otra más vinculada al mercado interno, incluyendo una incipiente sustitución de importaciones. Esta trayeetoria se vio acompañada por el crecimiento en el tamaño y en las funciones desempeñados por el Estado. En este trabajo nos aproximamos a esta evolución a través de un análisis de la inversión pública del Estado nacional en dos áreas críticas, ferrocarriles y obras de saneamiento, que dieron lugar a las primeras empresas públicas. También examinamos otras dimensiones de las finanzas públicas: la evolución y estructura de la recaudación tributaria y del endeudamiento público, que debieron proveer los recursos para estas inversiones y que afrontaron desafíos de una envergadura y complejidad crecientes.
Between 1900 and 1935, the Argentine economy experienced important changes. Strongly specialized at first in the exportation of primary goods to European markets, the economy gradually turned to import substitution for the internal market. This transition was accompanied by increases in the number and scope of the functions performed by the State. In this paper we approach this evolution with an analysis of public investment in two critical areas: railways and water and drainage works, both of which resulted in the formation of the first public enterprises. Other aspects of public finances are also examined here: the evolution and structure of tax collection and public debt, both of which experienced an ever increasing complexity and scope.
