Abstract

The present essay has two intentions. The first one consists of developing some interpretations about the current Argentine crisis, both from a historical as well as from a politologic point ofview. The second one is to formulate and develop some arguments that support the political action in moments in which the Argentine political penury is as or more extreme than any of its many others. With that aim, some of the historical roots of the crisis are discussed, the nature of the present problems and, in a hirschmanian perspective, the possibilities of constructive action. An aim of the text is to question most of the common sense interpretations present currently in the Argentine public opinion.
