Abstract

Development is a category that began to be retaken after the Second World War and began to be used by Western countries at the same time that the idea of underdevelopment was born both in the regions and in the countries that are economically and socially lagged with respect to the nations on which there is a dependency. So then, it could be said that this category, that began to be seen from the West, created a kind of manipulation of the forms of existence of different cultures and societies at the same time that it indicated a standardization of what development should be, and that it basically does emphasis on economics, especially on consumption. That is, there is development of a person, a family, a culture or society depending on its purchasing power and therefore the consumption that it can generate. There is a development, that of Latin America. This text addresses the historical context that the idea of development has had, as well as evolution and progress, from the social sciences and from other areas of human knowledge, laying the foundations from ancient Greece, through the Middle Ages, the renaissance, and modernity, to reach a current perspective. In addition, an empirical contribution is made with quantitative contributions that help to better understand the social and economic reality of Latin America.

    AB  - Development is a category that began to be retaken after the Second World War and began to be used by Western countries at the same time that the idea of underdevelopment was born both in the regions and in the countries that are economically and socially lagged with respect to the nations on which there is a dependency. So then, it could be said that this category, that began to be seen from the West, created a kind of manipulation of the forms of existence of different cultures and societies at the same time that it indicated a standardization of what development should be, and that it basically does emphasis on economics, especially on consumption. That is, there is development of a person, a family, a culture or society depending on its purchasing power and therefore the consumption that it can generate. There is a development, that of Latin America. This text addresses the historical context that the idea of development has had, as well as evolution and progress, from the social sciences and from other areas of human knowledge, laying the foundations from ancient Greece, through the Middle Ages, the renaissance, and modernity, to reach a current perspective. In addition, an empirical contribution is made with quantitative contributions that help to better understand the social and economic reality of Latin America.
