Zusammenfassung
This paper analyses both, the main theoretical body and the evolution of modern economic theories on Economic Development at two different stages. The first stage, covers the period from the end of second World War till the 1970¿s, when a complete set of new theories, dealing with the problem of underdevelopment, and declaring themselves independent of the main body of economics, appeared; the second one, covering roughly the period from the middle of the 1970¿s to the end of the century, witnesses the comeback of the neoclassical paradigm. Since the results of both approaches in terms of economic development seem to have been very poor, the importance of the role played by different institutional variables in the process of development, and that were neglected in those theoretical attempts, is stressed.
