Abstract

The programme of socio-economic reforms launched by the Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces had as one of its main objectives the creation of a substantial public enterprise sector which would play a central role in the economic development of Peru. A related aim, that of exercising national control over sectors of the economy previously owned by foreign capital, was similarly put into effect by means of the establishment of state firms (INP, 1971). This chapter sets out to analyse the development of the state sector of the Peruvian economy after 1968 with particular reference to two issues of somewhat wider significance. First, which social forces promote and which oppose the expansion of public enterprise under the conditions of peripheral capitalism? Second, which social groups or classes are favoured as a result of the operation of a substantial public enterprise sector?
