Abstract: Abstract Those who analyse the development process in Argentina have been surprised, on the one hand, by the diversity of development models that have been adopted, with varying degrees of success and, on the other, by the sudden changes from one model to the next and the consequences this has had for employment and the forms taken by labour action. It would appear that instability has been inherent in Argentina’s economic and social history. We believe that this instability only reflected a conflict that had not been resolved, at least not by 1973: the struggle between social classes and groups to dominate and to impose their theory of accumulation on the development model. Since no one group prevailed, there were pendulum swings in political and economic power, with abrupt advances and setbacks.
