[ Abstract ]

This paper aims to cover part of the historiographic output of the engineer Jorge Schvarzer, an economist whose career was held in high regard in both national and international academic spheres, and who passed away on 27th September 2008 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The purpose of the selected texts is, primarily, to highlight the central themes running through his proliferous intellectual output -industrial development and analysis of economic groups in Argentina, among others- and, secondly, even if only superficially on occasions, to point out the different conceptual tools applied to his unorthodox intellectual output, as well as the differentiations that Jorge Schvarzer established with approaches he regarded as traditional. In short, the aim is to offer a range of his main ideas about the economic and social development of Argentina.
