ABSTRACT
The conflicts between the left and the right wings of Peronism did not end with the election of Perón. On the contrary, the fight became more violent. Perón condemned the guerrilla movements and suggested that the leftist governor of the Province of Buenos Aires, Oscar Bidegain, was responsible for the attack. The economic policies applied by Jose Ber Gelbard, the economic minister that Perón chose and Cámpora appointed, were exact copies of those that Miguel Miranda, the first economic czar of the first Peronist Government, had applied in 1946 and 1948. The difference between the two experiences is related to the duration of the policy experiments: that of Miranda lasted almost three years while that of Gelbard only a year and a half. Argentina and the United Kingdom engaged in a war that lasted until June 1982 when Argentine troops on the islands surrendered. Martínez de Hoz and Adolfo Diz moved quickly to liberalize and unify the foreign exchange market.
