Jose Antonio Gomariz

He was a major figure in Argentine universities, including the University of Buenos Aires, where he was one of the founders of the economics department in 1958 and dean until 1972. He was also dean of the University of Belgrano and a professor emeritus of Universidad Argentina de la Empresa. Altogether in his distinguished academic career, he was a professor of economics in five different universities for over fifty years, continuing to teach until the age of 86.

After Perón was removed from office in 1955, Gomariz joined the University of Buenos Aires faculty, where he would become one of the founders of the Facultad de Economía (Economics faculty) as chair of the International Economics department. He would later also serve as president of EUDEBA, the university printing press, and as dean of the economics department until he was ousted in 1972 by Horacio Ciafardini as part of Peron's eventual return to power.

After a brief military career, he joined the Central Bank of Argentina within their executive development program. In 1944, the Central Bank of Argentina awarded him (and six others) a full scholarship to attend Harvard University's Masters in Public Administration program. At Harvard, he studied under the great economists Wassily Leontief, Joseph Schumpeter, John Kenneth Galbraith and others.
