Sumario:Development in Latin America and the Caribbean should be thought of as a problem of external restriction, where discourses have been imposed that impede any process of convergence with developed economies. For this reason, it is necessary to question the theoretical foundations of such discourses, showing that, for the most part, they have been controversial and declared inconsistent; transforming such positions into incoherent ideologies. Thus, this article seeks to present the development challenges facing the region based on an alternative theoretical analysis that brings us closer to a global conception of the socio-economic conflicts of development and allows us to support normative postulates to contribute to the debate on the development of our nations. We always advocate for industrialization and growth policies via effective demand.
