The “Young Employers’ Center” was established in 1938 in a spirit of reaction that looked toward reactionary forces in order to fight against ongoing or feared changes in politics, economics and social areas. It showed employers’ desire to go beyond day-to-day management and to relegate class struggle into obsolescence. This organization was part of the dynamics of renewal taking place during the inter-war period which combined new ideas and a commitment to action, and turned the youth into a vector for the modernization of business and society. The article focuses on the specific sociology of this employers’ association during its first period (1938-1944), the particular experiences carried out by its first members within their businesses, as well as the specific ideas they learned from it.
