This paper analyzes the political and ideological influence that the group of disciples of Alejandro Bunge exerted over the definition of the economic policies during the first peronist administration. It argues that the group?s support for industrialization during the interwar period as well as the pressure exerted by social Catholicism upon its members allowed the group to manipulate the 1943 military government. Moreover, this article examines the role of the group in the Industry Secretariat, the formation of the first program of industrial promotion, and the economic discussions  held during the post war period. It argues that the Bunge group played a decisive role in the orientation of the Peronist industrial policies. In this sense, this paper questions the argument that overly emphasizes the importance of political and social factors that oriented Peronist industrial policies, such as Peron?s confrontation with the United States and the demands of the labor movement.
