The Newspaper Noticias: Economic Ideas of the Peronist Left During the Third Peronism (1973-1974)

Abstract

In this paper we propose an investigative examination of the economic ideas of the newspaper Noticias about everything that happens in the world (1973-1974) distributed in Argentina during the first years of the Third Peronist government (1973-1976). To do this, it is introduced into the main discussions of national and world economic policy of those years as well as the positions held on the subject by the Montoneros guerrilla organization to which said newspaper was linked. In a second part, we analyze the diatribes expressed in Noticias about different aspects of the economic policy of the Peronist government as well as the main economic problems of those years. It has been found that Noticias reproduced, to a large extent, the general discourse of Montoneros, but ambivalences have been detected in it that perhaps account for the nature of the newspaper and the broad composition of its members.
