Prof. Gelina Harlaftis (IMS/FORTH), “Onassis Business History, 1924-1975”

Aristotle Onassis is the most famous shipowner of the 20th century, the archetype and image of the shipowning magnate, the symbol of Greek enterprise on a global scale. He created the shipping business of the new global era, which has continued to operate in institutional terms on the models that he laid down, to the present day.

Onassis's first job in Buenos Aires was rowing a boat in the rotten water of La Boca, he moved people from one place to the other, it was the lowest level job that existed in Buenos Aires in those years. Then he sold clips for ties on Florida Street (hawker ) and it was there where my grandfather met him. His second export business in Buenos Aires was at Viamonte 330 Street, today it is a dry cleaners.
