| Sumario: | Since the end of the 18th century, classical economists, and subsequently many of his followers have attempted to, explain the economic development of Nations. However, the implementation of its postulates not obtained the same results with the so-called underdeveloped countries such as Latin America. Aware of this, sociologists highlights such as the Italian Gino Germani and Spanish José Medina Echavarría during the 1960, carried out a series of analyses on the causes of underdevelopment in Latin America, the social structures that make up and the asynchronous form of the transition to “modernity”. This work aims to outline the main considerations of the Gino Germani and José Medina Echavarría sociologists on the Latin American society, the important role that affords the sociology study of societies such as the Latin American and assessing the contribution of their contributions which are not commonly weighted in traditional economic literature. The central message of the authors is that in the countries of further development, fail some of the elements of modernity, because traditional elements of the feudal estate, which were totally differently to the processes of the industrialized countries are still.
