description The article debates Eduardo Basualdo’s text published in this magazine in March of 2002 regarding the crisis of the convertibility regime in Argentina. We discuss the conceptualization of business unity and conflict that this author locates in the privatizations of state companies. In particular, we question the conceptualization of business conflict as a polarization between two alternative solutions to convertibility –the devaluation of money and the dollarization of the economy. We show that the empirical evidence in favor of this thesis is scarce and that business unity and conflict were better yet related to the strength or the weakness of an accumulation strategy.

El artículo debate con el texto de Eduardo Basualdo publicado en esta revista en marzo de 2002, acerca de la crisis del régimen de convertibilidad en Argentina. Discutimos la conceptualización de la unidad y el conflicto empresarial que este autor ubica en las privatizaciones de empresas estatales. Especialmente, ponemos en cuestión la conceptualizacióndel conflicto empresarial como una polarización entre dos alternativas de salida de la convertibilidad: la devaluación de la moneda y la dolarización de la economía. Mostramos que la evidencia empírica a favor de esta tesis es escasa y que la unidad y el conflicto empresarial estuvieron relacionados más bien con la fortaleza o debilidad de una estrategia de acumulación.
