Abstract

We analyze the elements of the automotive crisis initiated in 1978, and the market conditions and the situation of the terminals in the 1980s. Then, we focus on the study of the positions of businessmen, both in individually and collectively at the time of economic recession.

We seek to contribute to the knowledge about the difficulties of the Argentine industry in the ‘80 and on the history of the local bourgeoisie in this period. We use official and private reports,journals of the period and contributions from other authors.
