Abstract

In common with the rest of Latin America, it would be appropriate to designate Uruguay’s pattern of growth before 1930 as export-led. The emphasis on the urban character of batllista Uruguay should not conceal the fact that the growth process in this period was determined by the performance of exports, and later the export sector was crucial to the import-substitution model after the Second World War. The significance of exports has consisted not only in determining the rate of growth of the economy in the long run, but also in converting a highly favourable if limited natural resource endowment per capita into a high level of per capita income, on the basis of which the redistributive policies of batllismo were constructed. There is indeed a strong positive correlation between the health of the export sector, with its political and economic implications, and the fortunes of the batllista cause.
