Abstract

In late 1968, a military coup overthrew the civilian government of Peru, bringing to power a new government with General Juan Velasco as President. On a continent where coups are common, this was an uncommon coup, signalling not just a change of government, but a change in the class domination of the state. Before 1968, Peru had been ruled by a coalition of capitalists and pre-capitalist landlords, the capitalists having their investments in banking, finance, and export agriculture. This coalition was overthrown by the rising industrial bourgeoisie which, after 1968, sought to re-orient the economy to rapid industrialisation.1
