Abstract
La generación de un desarrollo endógeno en los países más pobres, a partir de la modernización y avance de su sector más importante, la agricultura, se sitúa en el presente en un contexto muy diferente al que se enfrentaron en el pasado los países desarrollados. La relevancia de esta cuestión desde la perspectiva del desarrollo económico se deriva, principalmente, de la trascendencia que las actividades agrarias siguen manteniendo en los países atrasados, sobre todo en términos de empleo. Mientras que la corriente dominante de la economía ha puesto el énfasis en los factores que pueden promover los procesos de convergencia, en este trabajo se examinan distintos mecanismos de empobrecimiento de las agriculturas de los países más atrasados. Además, en contraste con la visión tradicional de las funciones de la agricultura en el crecimiento económico, se analiza su importante papel en el desarrollo desde una perspectiva fundamentalmente microeconómica.
The generation of endogenous growth in poorer countries, through the modernisation and technical progress in their most important sector (i.e. the agricultural sector), takes place nowadays within a very different context to the one in which developed countries grew in the past. The significance of this issue, from the perspective of economic development, relies mainly on the relevance that agriculture activities still maintain in less developed countries, particularly in relation to employment levels. In contrast to mainstream economics, which focuses on the analysis of the potential factors that promote convergence processes, in this work we explore different impoverishment mechanisms of the agricultural sector of less developed countries. In addition, and (again) in contrast with the traditional approach, we analyse the role of agriculture in the development process, mainly from a microeconomic perspective.
