Abstract

This article proposes to appreciate the paretian conception of circulation for exploring the relationship given between the State and the bourgeoisie in the modern societies; analyzing, for example, the step existent from the upper-level public service to the private sphere of men who participate in trade associations as the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA). It is also interested in observing some particularities from the elites in Argentina, and analyzing two prosopographical cases that account for circulation through different ways, as they are displacements and conversions. Studying the history of lives, we will find two kinds of representatives at the UIA; on one side, the owners of the enterprises, and on the other hand, their executives.
