Sumario:This article aims to investigate, from the perspective of Historical Sociology and comparative methodology, the particular link bet- ween the right and the economic elite in the Executive Power through the phenomena of presidents-businessmen and ceocracy. We maintain that there has been a quantitative and qualitative change after the beginning of the socalled change of era and particu- larly, after the global crisis of 2008, mutating into a type of generalized, persistent and consolidated linkage in the partisan ins- titutional sphere. From there we can observe the growing role of the business community against other social sectors in the right- wing parties. This phenomenon was evidenced in various countries of the region through the circulation of trajectories from the private business sphere to the public sphere, particularly in the ownership of the Executive Power and its ministerial portfolio. We will reconstruct this process at the regional level (Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Brazil) and specifically the experiences of Mauricio Macri in Argentina (2015) and Horacio Cartes in Paraguay (2013).
