Abstract

This article discusses two perspectives on poverty that coexisted in the period of 1903-1904 in the same geographic location (Argentina). The perspective outlined by José Ingenieros, whose ideas won the recognition of Argentina intelligentsia, and that of Bialet Massé point of view, which remained virtually unknown for nearly forty years. Each of those authors had peculiar analysis regarding the body of workers. José Ingenieros constructed a speech on poverty centered on the very trite theme of laziness, particularly: Creole laziness. Meanwhile, Bialet Massé, in his Report on the state of the working class of 1904, presented a view of the body of workers that, in that time, was very innovative. It was focused on the problem of fatigue. We analyze the differences between these speeches having as main reference the work of Anson Rabinbach: Human Motor.
