Twice Minister of Economy, he was also the Argentine ambassador to the United States and director of the traditional Argentine-German newspaper Argentinisches Tageblatt.[1]
He was implementing an economic policy that aimed to decrease the inflation rate, deregulate, and destatize the economy until the Argentine Armed Forces began the Falklands War in April 1982.[2] The liberal economic reforms proposed since December 1981, during the military dictatorship of Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri, remained unfinished.[3]
