BORRASTERO, Carina Mariana. El rol del Estado en los países en desarrollo en la teoría evolucionista de Carlota Pérez: El caso del sector de software de Córdoba, Argentina. Econ: teor. práct [online]. 2012, n.37, pp.89-120. ISSN 2448-7481.

We propose a critical analysis of the conception of the State in the evolutionary theory of Carlota Pérez. We suggest that the author maintains a narrow conception of the roles of the State in development processes, that hinders the understanding of the links that this actor establishes with private agents. From this hypothesis we analyze the nature of State intervention in the development of the Software and Information Technology sector of the city of Cordoba, Argentina, currently showing high performance indicators which, from our point of view, are significantly determined by the characteristics of such intervention. We sustain that said intervention has features that call into question the conception of the State by the author.
