Focusing on an analysis of the role provided to the State by the World Bank in development processes since the 1990s, this paper emphasizes the noteworthy continuity exhibited by the WB's proposals to separate the State from any involvement in industrial production processes. Based on Argentina's experience in the 1990s, evidence is also presented of two clear inconsistencies shown by policies inspired by such continuity: a) the constant growth of the State starting with the reforms that were paradoxically oriented towards its reduction; b) the emptying of state structures and capacities in the industrial production area, whose existence the WB demands as a condition for enabling complex industrial policies. Finally, it deals with the Latin American scenario to reflect on how the mentioned inconsistencies contribute to and explain structural reversal in the region in a global context.
