Cooperativas, crédito estatal y desarrollo rural. Una primera aproximación a su estudio en el caso de Córdoba (1940- 1960)

Abstract

In this article its put in a relationship the results of the study over the material incentives of cooperative action with the trends of rural and familiar economy, in Cordoba, between 1940 and 1960. The new mechanisms of colective commercialization, where the second grade entity FACA (Federación Argentina de Cooperativas Argentinas) had a participation and to which were associated the primary cooperatives related to the Federación Agraria Argentina and, to the State -through the Instituto Argentino de Promoción al Intercambio- increasing the negotiation power of rural productors. On the other hand, the provincial credit policies were -from the beginning of the period- favourable to the rural and cooperative sector. Both factors -we propose- acted as material incentives to steightened familiar economy. To analyze the rural economy of familiar productors we worked with censal data in a micro-regional level (departamento Tercero-Arriba) and we contextualized this study with the results of other investigations about the pampeana and cordobesa region and at national level. We also worked about the cooperatives practices with memories, balance and micro-region entities records, and we did a first aproach to the provincial credit policies with the cooperatives, through sources made and existent in Cordoba's Provincial Bank.
