Plutocratic regime

This overview explores Ecuador's plutocratic regime from 1912 to 1925, detailing the economic boom and subsequent crisis. It examines the role of Banco Comercial Agrícola in providing funds to the state and the impact of inflation on cacao producers. Key presidencies of Leónidas Plaza, Alfredo Baquerizo Moreno, and José Luis Tamayo are analyzed, along with their responses to civil unrest and economic challenges. The consequences of their policies led to new labor organizations and a national worker strike in 1922, culminating in a coup d'état in 1925.
