In Chapter 3, Alfredo Schclarek Curutchet, Professor of Economics at the National University of Córdoba, presents the reasons that would justify the existence of state enterprises. He defends various theoretical arguments in favour of the direct intervention of state enterprises in the production cycle. The Argentine academic also highlights the need to ?raise the level of debate and not fall into extreme conclusions and simplifications biased by prejudice and dogmatism? when discussing the various options for the reorganisation of public enterprises.
