During the past 25 years we have always looked to the future and when I review the imag- es and wording of this publication, I rediscover experiences, the people who have accom- panied us; the successes and failures. And I am eager to thank all those who have made it possible for us to tread this path; many, too many of them are still aboard the ship; others, unfortunately, whether of their own free will or not, have abandoned it. We all recognize that having been present, hav- ing participated, having made our own personal contribution was not in vain. We left be- ing better than we were when we arrived and if we have remained here, we are particular- ly proud to belong, to be part of the story. They say that talking about the past means that you are getting older, but looking back on this short but intense experience of Los Grobo, I feel that the past is tied to the pres- ent and to the future. Have my grandfather Bernardo and my great-grandfather Abraham been “Landless” con- tractors, or service providers, by coincidence? When is there predestination in our soul and in what runs through our veins, and when a new and genuine undertaking? For 25 years we have faced unique, encouraging challenges. Los Grobo is a regional, multi-local business, it is a company from here, no matter where, or where the customers, Gustavo Grobocopatel suppliers and the people working for Los Grobo are from. Its ideas, its culture, its business CEO of Grupo Los Grobo model are always adopted by many other companies and Los Grobo is a subject for de- bate at the universities, in the farming sector, between workers and politicians. We do not want to go unnoticed, we want to drive transformations or revolutions, we want progress and the best quality of life, we want people to be free, stand-alone, empowered but do not want them to think only about themselves. We believe in the collective pro- cesses based on our experience, rather than as an act of faith. Los Grobo is the fruit of a big collective process. I cannot mention anyone in particular, there are many people, one thousand names come to mind, but I should only say that nothing would have been possible without Adolfo, our founder. He opened doors when no one opened them, with generosity to share. He passionately encouraged those who were tired, disturbed those who did not know or did not become aware, and showed himself as a caring, sensitive, perfectible and fallible man so that we can learn from his errors. I have dreamt that it was the year 2020 and that Paula and I were having a coffee in a bar in an unknown rural village. It could be any place in Africa or Eastern Europe, or a village in India, the Colombian high plateau, or Brazil. We were hearing what two villagers were saying about the development of agriculture and its industrialization, about new technologies and new forms of organization, about how progress had come to their village and young people did not want to leave any more. We heard what they were saying about many things with happiness and hope; suddenly, one of them asked: Why is that business here called Los Grobo?

Essentially, Los Grobo is a company that manages the relationships between the net- work members “seeking to create value for the stakeholders involved”. Although the agricultural production is naturally rich in relationships between players, innovation consisted in focusing strength on the management of those relationships. In the ‘90s, the accelerated growth was given by the association with farmers that knew the territory, natural resources and technologies full well.

La elección temática señalada guarda relación con los procesos de trans- formación que se observan a escala global y, con ello, resaltar la necesidad de que la economía argentina sea capaz de adaptarse a los nuevos escenarios internacionales que serán determinantes a lo largo del siglo XXI. El mundo actual tiende a ser más multilateral, en el sentido de más actores económicos relevantes y, por lo tanto, cada vez son más numerosos y más significativos los temas que requieren propuestas y soluciones globales, tales como los vinculados con la alimentación, la energía, el medio ambiente, las migraciones y el ordenamiento monetario y financiero internacional. En tal contexto, la economía argentina puede encontrar un sendero favorable para un desarrollo sostenido, de largo plazo y con capacidad de inclusión social. Pero para ello debe elaborar y consensuar una perspectiva estratégica (continúa en página siguiente) Editorial (viene de página anterior) que permita maximizar las fuentes del crecimiento, asociadas con el cono- cimiento y las tecnologías, la innovación y las capacidades empresariales, la capacitación laboral, la calidad institucional, etc.

  • “From My Balcony”
    1 “FROM MY BALCONY” By Helga Szmuk Translation of the original in Portuguese by Marcia Lizia Barry (USA) Oct, 2006 2 Introduction Many of my friends and my sons, have been for a long time, telling me to write my memories. I finally decided to take their advice. Why not? After all, they are very dear to me. I took my time though, trying to gather so many deeds of my crazy life of tribulation, which was not very easy considering I am in my 80's. As soon as I had finished the first couple of chapters, I asked them to correct my Portuguese errors. However, not one of them volunteered. Nevertheless, I understand. I know how tedious the work can be. My English students, or even my astronomer friends, often ask me to correct their English texts. It is pure suffering. I would rather write the articles all over again (which is handiwork) than correct what is completely wrong. The same applies to my Portuguese; someone else would have to re-write my texts I am sure. My great new friend, Bob Sharp, never told me I should write my memories. Then I sent him a few pages to read and see what he thought of it. Being a Journalist, writing and analyzing texts is what he does every day. He made the corrections in record time and offered to work on the entire book. We met in strange circunstances and at the same time humorous. I wrote to the Newspaper, more specifically to the Department in charge of taking readers' complaints, about the terrible habit of smoking in public places, like Shopping Malls.

Durante el siglo xx, el principal referente del movimiento monárquico Action française repre- sentó para ciertos círculos nacionalistas argentinos una fuente de recetas para interpretar e in- tervenir en el escenario político local. Tras una primera recepción en las décadas iniciales de dicho siglo, luego de su muerte fue recuperado en un renovado clima de ideas donde el catálogo de lecturas del universo naciona- lista se actualizó al calor de la guerra fría y el posperonismo. Es dicho momento el que nos interesa analizar aquí. Nuestra puerta de entrada será el aniversario de su desaparición física celebrado en 1972. La “Comisión Argentina de Homenaje a Charles Maurras en el xx aniversario de su muerte”, encargada de organizar las actividades, contó con la participación de un conjunto de figuras cuyas trayectorias mostraban heterogéneos recorridos y, para la época, apuestas políticas di- vergentes.
