Abstract: ThereŽs a consensus in the Uruguayan historiography about the important increase of the state intervention in economic and social issues during the long period of political dominance of Batllismo (1903-1933). However, the studies of this phenomenon have not discriminated sufficiently between the statist and regulatory aspects of state intervention. The hypothesis that guides this working paper is that although it actually materialized in the advancement of state functions as a direct producer and manager of goods and services -leading to the emergence of a social and entrepreneur state-, this was not the case in terms of its regulatory powers over the private sector of the economy. Compared with the previous aspect, the Uruguayan state did not proceed in the same way on its regulatory role, with the only exception of the labor market.
