RESUMEN
Este artículo está dedicado a mostrar que la racionalización económica de la salud que caracteriza el presente, aun reconociendo rasgos singulares, se inscribe en un proceso histórico de mayor duración. Así, entre los años 1900 y 1955 se constituyó en la Argentina una "analítica económica" de la relación salud-trabajo, estructurada en torno a los siguientes focos la reflexión acerca del "precio del hombre"; el pensamiento que inscribía la medicina social en el programa de la "economía humana"; el discurso acerca de la vida sana y eficiente; los cálculos de los médicos de fábrica y la conformación de un discurso económico-utilitario al interior de la medicina del trabajo y, finalmente, los debates acerca de la productividad. Esos cinco ejes definen la emergencia de una problematización particular de la salud de los trabajadores y, a la vez, dejan planteado el interrogante concerniente a la relación que mantienen, en las sociedades occidentales, el capitalismo, el liberalismo y el biopoder.
ABSTRACT
This article seeks to demonstrate that the economic rationalization in health that characterizes the present, although possessing unique features, is inscribed within a longer historical process. Between 1900 and 1955, an "economic analytics" of the relationship between health and work was developed in Argentina, structured around the following focal points reflections on the "price of a man"; thought that framed social medicine within the "human economy" program; the discourse of healthful and efficient living; the calculations of factory doctors and the conformation of an economic and utilitarian discourse within occupational medicine; and, finally, debates on productivity. These five central concepts define the emergence of a particular problematization regarding worker health and, in turn, raise questions about the relationship between capitalism, liberalism and biopower in occidental societies.
