| description | This article looks into the connection between political liberties and economic development. The author reviews the arguments of several studies on the subject and concludes that more political liberties are not necessarily beneficial to economic development since they could jeopardize the rights of ownership far more critically than the arbitrariness of governments with the most indifferent of altitudes to the will of the people. Indeed, "excessive" liberties could favor the interests of private lobbies -and unnecessary State intervention in the economy- or, in unjust societies, lead to the application of moderate or extreme redistribution-oriented policy. |

The author reviews the arguments of several studies on the subject and concludes that more political liberties are not necessarily beneficial to economic development since they could jeopardize the rights of ownership far more critically than the arbitrariness of governments with the most indifferent of altitudes to the will of the people. Indeed, "excessive" liberties could favor the interests of private lobbies -and unnecessary State intervention in the economy- or, in unjust societies, lead to the application of moderate or extreme redistribution-oriented policy. El presente artículo discute el vínculo entre libertades económicas y el desarrollo económico y, para ello, revisa los planteamientos de numerosos estudios sobre el tema. Concluye que no necesariamente mayores libertades políticas favorecen el crecimiento económico, pues éstas podrían comprometer los derechos de propiedad más que las posibles arbitrariedades de un gobierno más autónomo de la voluntad de la mayoría. En efecto, libertades "excesivas" podrían propiciar el éxito de grupos de interés particular -e innecesarias intervenciones del Estado en la economía- o, en sociedades desiguales, la ejecución de políticas leve o fuertemente redistributivas. 1996-11-11 2022-03-17T18:47:54Z 2022-03-17T18:47:54Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/433 10.21678/apuntes.38.433 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/52764 spa https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/433/435 Derechos de autor 2017 Apuntes http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
