Abstract

Abstract

The literature on the II National Development Plan (1975-1979) is characterized by various works concerned with the economic policy´s rights and wrongs. Those who defend that the right decisions were taken usually point to the positive impact of the import substitution projects on the trade balance in the 1980s. Those who criticize errors censure the subordination of supposed economic rationality to 1) the presumed authoritarian political rationality or 2) the unrealistic voluntarism of a dictatorship unconnected to social bases. The paper presents evidence of demands from domestic fractions of the industrial business community and its interactions with the political system which, despite the (selective) authoritarianism, suggest that the II PND´s formulation expresses the relative autonomy of a State articulated to specific social bases.

Keywords: II National Development Plan; military dictatorship; state; class fractions; industrial business community.

JEL Codes: N16, H11.
