ROIG, Alexandre. Establishing the sovereignty of currency: the parliamentary debate. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2015, vol.77, n.1, pp.69-94. ISSN 2594-0651.

This paper seeks to explain, from the perspective of economic sociology, the Argentinean process of convertibility as a form of establishing the sovereignty of currency. Through the analysis of parliamentary debates on the adoption of the law, the logic and implications of a currency created "forever," as its promoters hoped, are studied. The idea of a sovereign currency, whose model makes it possible to envisage monetary forms with nominal anchors and a certain type of associated crises, is also discussed.

Keywords : currency; convertibility; sovereignty.
