This article analyzes the crisis of the supply system in the city of Santiago de Chile in the context of the Great Depression, by examining the debates generated by the rising cost of living and proposals to create a series of farmer’s markets that emerged in 1939 during the administration of Mayor Graciela Contreras. The study includes a discussion of the different struggles and organizational modalities that characterized this period of the city’s history.
