Abstract

En dos de sus libros –El autoritarismo y la improductividad y Por qué crecen los países– José Ignacio García Hamilton (1943-2009) resaltó la influencia que la cultura y las creencias predominantes de la sociedad argentina tuvieron sobre su evolución institucional en el siglo XX y su decadencia económica. Desde hace décadas los académicos de las ciencias sociales debaten sobre la importancia relativa de la cultura y las instituciones como factores determinantes de la prosperidad (o decadencia) de un país. En este ensayo analizaré y criticaré de manera somera las principales posturas en ese debate, resaltando especialmente las de Juan Bautista Alberdi y García Hamilton y luego indagaré sobre algunos aspectos de la cultura argentina que influyeron sobre la evolución institucional del país en las últimas ocho décadas.
