La question de la légitimité monétaire: le Patacón argentin

Jean-Marc Clerc

Revue Tiers Monde, 2002, vol. 43, issue 171, 683-697

Abstract: [eng] Jean-Marc Clerc — The question of monetary legitimacy : The Argentina Patacon case.. During 2002, more than twenty parallel currencies are in circulation in Argentina. These are debt bonds used to pay public servants ;. yet they are not converted into local currency despite their potential liquidity and the remuneration they may procure. The Argentina crisis shows that the acceptability of these titles expresses a lack of reserve values for two reasons : as merchandises, they are structurally dominated by national money, and yet the latter no longer has the confidence of agents, due to its loss of social and political legitimacy.
