Fondo de Cultura Económica is an institution of the Mexican National Government which publishes, sells, and promotes works of Mexican, Spanish American, and universal culture. For over half a century the Argentinian branch of FCE has promoted Mexican culture and thought in the areas of academics and education through the work of the most prominent writers published in Mexico. Starting in the mid-1990s, the Argentinian branch of FCE initiated an editorial program which alternates works by top Argentine authors and translated titles, contributing to the richness of their global catalogue. In this way, the press’s Argentine affiliate has become one of the country’s primary publishers of Social and Human Sciences.
