TREMBLAY, Guillaume. War and Peace: Fatherland and the Rise of a Spirit of Capitalism in Bolivia (1880-1884). Rev Cien Cult [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.42, pp.121-139. ISSN 2077-3323.

This article looks at the progressive intertwining of a capitalist spirit to the Bolivian state beginning in the 188Os. The emphasis is put on the raging patriotic debate that takes place within the political elite as the War of the Pacific -opposing Bolivia to Chile- rages on. Focusing on Aniceto Arce, then Vice-President and future President of the country, we show that the real stake of the debates is the growing importance of work, production and capital as the central values of the State.

Palabras clave : Spirit of capitalism; State; patriotism; Aniceto Arce; War of the Pacific; war and peace.
