| Sumario: | In Argentina, the entrepreneur State expressed itself in an early form, among other actions, through theparticipation of the State in the construction and operation of the railway since Mitre´s government. Fromthe beginning, the government proposed a subsidiary role: to carry out works where there was no interest forprivate capital and to connect the capitals of the provinces.The growth of the state network made it necessary to organize the centralized management of the StateRailways (FCE); by a law of 1909 the General Administration of the State Railways (AGFE) was created and thefollowing year it began to operate until it was dissolved at the end of 1948, constituting the first national statecompany.The consolidation of the entrepreneurial State allows us to observe and analyze it´s problems andlimitations, as well as the characteristics of its bureaucracy. |
