Abstract

En este artículo se analizan las “historias de vida” de las dos empresas que aparecen en la prensa y la literatura como las más grandes de la producción agraria pampeana: Cresud y El Tejar. Con ello, se procura aportar evidencia empírica y elementos de análisis para evaluar si las llamadas “grandes empresas agropecuarias”, que irrumpieron en la producción agraria pampeana en las últimas décadas, constituyen capitales agrarios equiparables a los capitales concentrados dominantes en el resto de la economía nacional. Las conclusiones a las que se arriba desafían varias concepciones dominantes en la literatura especializada. ***** This article presents an in-depth study of the ‘life story’ of the two companies described by the press and the literature as the largest in Pampas agricultural production: Cresud and El Tejar. The objective of this study is to provide empirical evidence and elements of analysis to assess whether the so-called ‘big agricultural enterprises’, which have sprung up over recent decades in Pampas’ agricultural production, are comparable to the concentrated capitals that dominate the rest of the national economy. The study’s conclusions challenge several of the dominant ideas in the relevant literature.
