This paper explores the historical long-term determinants of economic growth in Argentina along the XX century. The evidence indicates that at the beginning economic openness plays a key role to explain the successful performance achieved until the great crisis of 1930. From there on, and until the middle of the ´70s, Argentina maintained a similar growth of the previous period, which was driven by the domestic demand via investment. Nonetheless, in the last quarter of the past century economic growth slowed drastically, which was mainly associated with economic instability, approximated by inflation and the per capita growth rate output volatility. The intuition is that once the country lost foreign markets for its exports, could temporarily sustain growth thanks to domestic demand, but once this strategy petered out the economy was signed by a long period of turbulence and stagnation, specifically since 1975 onwards. Thus, economic policy recommendations are to develop new led export-oriented sectors, so that alleviate the external restriction, as to avoid procyclical policies in order to reduce the economic instability.

En el presente artículo se pretende dar cuenta de cómo los Estados Locales en la Provincia de Córdoba regularon el fenómeno de las ferias de la Economía Popular en espacios públicos a través de Ordenanzas Municipales. Como primer punto, hicimos una contextualización de dicho fenómeno, que adquirió gran relevancia luego del quiebre en el sistema formal del trabajo y la crisis del 2001, para dar lugar a un análisis en torno a la categoría de informalidad y las discusiones que existen en torno a su carácter legal/ilegal. Por último, analizamos los casos de las ordenanzas de Córdoba capital, Villa María y Rio Cuarto, lo que nos llevó a identificar las tensiones que se generan con los feriantes y su trabajo por considerarlo una práctica laboral informal.
