Estados Unidos, las empresas transnacionales y el subdesarrollo: una lectura desde Furtado

Abstract

This paper analyzes the role of the United States, specifically in relation to the dynamics of societies in Latin America and the actions of transnational corporations in the world economy. The above, framed by different problems that conditioned development. This paper highlights that the ideas of underdevelopment are a relevant contribution of Celso Furtado’s studies, as they are presented within international economic and political relations. These are a critique of conventional theories of international trade. This perspective, it is argued, is still in force today, even taking into account globalization, the advancement of productive and financial internationalization and the deployment of transnational corporations.
