Rethinking Economic Populism: Peron and the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank with Professor Claudia Kedar 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM Richter Library 3rd Floor Conference Room Argentina’s Juan Domingo Perón was the most influential populist leader of 20th Century Latin America. His deep economic nationalism and radical anti-imperialism appear in the politics of his most prominent 21st century successors including Hugo Chávez and Rafael Correa. Nevertheless, recent research based on primary sources in Argentina, the United States and on newly declassified collections held in the IMF Archives, reveals a more complex picture of “economic populism.” Dr. Kedar reveals that the tendency to describe populist Perón as the arch-enemy of the IMF and the World Bank as instruments of the US imperialism is no more than a myth promoted by Peronists and anti-Peronists alike.
