This article analyses the characteristics of an economic “ideology” that germinates within Argentinean economic elite during the 2001-2002 crisis. In time to the socio-economic conflicts produced by the highly internationalized and financial model of “convertibility”, this new “ideology” - “a little keynesian” - stands out, replacing the one supporting the predominant economic direction since 1976, and becomes itself hegemonic. The hegemony of this new “ideology” gives another direction to the economy that allows to moderate socio-economic conflicts, and recompose the organic crisis started in 2001 and made obvious by the slogan “¡Qué se vayan todos!” (“They all must go!”).
