Argentina was governmed by Kirchnerism for twelve years (2003-2015). This period had two different economic phases: one with high growth rates and significant social improvements, and the other with poor economic performance and less social progress. In this context, this article seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the achievements and limits of the economic and social project of Kirchnerism. The central hypothesis posits a close link between the limitations of the growth and distribution process, Argentinian’s productive structure and the main socio-political interests involved.

Keywords : kirchnerism; Argentina; balance of payments constraint; social classes.
