Abstract

El objetivo del artículo es analizar la hiperinflación argentina de 1989 a partir de un enfoque e interpretación histórica. El punto de partida lo constituyen los factores estructurales detrás de la crisis la década de 1980 como la deuda externa, el alto déficit fiscal y la inflación reteniendo la coyuntura inmediata del Plan de estabilización Primavera. A partir del abordaje de un conjunto de fuentes estadísticas, institucionales y testimoniales se propone una interpretación sobre el episodio hiperinflacionario desde el manejo de la política económica del gobierno entre 1986 y 1988 como condición previa. Como se dio cuenta, la hiperinflación no puede entenderse meramente desde el desborde fiscal y monetario, sino que debe partirse de un enfoque que jerarquice el peso del endeudamiento externo e interno y las limitaciones de la política financiera tanto del gobierno como la ejercida desde el Banco Central.
