Heteregeneidad social, elites dominantes y desarrollo del subdesarrollo: América Latina hoy

Resumen

PREVALENCE OF SOCIAL INEQUALITY, HIGH-INCOME CONCENTRATION, UNSATISFIED POPULATION NEEDS, INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITIES TO BE PRODUCTIVE, THAT IS TO SAY, HIGHER SOCIAL DIVERSITY AND DEVELOPING COUNTRIES DEVELOPMENT, LEADS TO CONCLUDE THAT DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. IN ECONOMIC THINKING HISTORY, CELSO FURTADO FORMULATED THE THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT, AS WELL AS THE THESIS THAT UNDERDEVELOPMENT IS NOT A STAGE TOWARDS DEVELOPMENT. HIS IDEAS ARE REGAINING SIGNIFICANCE NOWADAYS AND THEY ARE ESSENTIAL TO PUT FORWARD A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. AS THE BRAZILIAN ECONOMIST USED TO SAY: "MORE THAN TRANSFORMATION, DEVELOPMENT IS AN INVENTION; IT ENTAILS A COMPONENT OF INTENTIONALITY".
