description 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.

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. El desarrollo en América Latina y el Caribe debe pensarse como un problema de restricción externa, donde se han impuesto discursos que impiden cualquier proceso de convergencia con las economías desarrolladas. Por esto, se hace necesario cuestionar los fundamentos teóricos de tales discursos, demostrando que, en su mayoría, han sido controvertidos y declarados inconsistentes; transformando tales posturas en ideológicas y nunca coherentes. Así pues, en este artículo se busca afrontar los desafíos del desarrollo que enfrenta la región a partir de un análisis teórico alternativo que nos acerque a una concepción global de los conflictos socio-económicos del desarrollo y nos permita sostener postulados normativos para contribuir al debate por el desarrollo de nuestras naciones, abogando siempre por políticas de industrialización y de crecimiento vía demanda efectiva.
