Abstract

El documento muestra, a través de una perspectiva analítica-interpretativa, el papel que hanjugado las instituciones y el capital social en el desempeno económico de distintas regiones, enparticular del departamento del Cauca, en el cual la dependencia de la historia y la herenciacolonial han sido causales importantes de su bajo desarrollo. Para ello, se revisa el legado colonialde la Gobernación del Cauca a partir de evidencias históricas y hechos estilizados que permitenmostrar la presencia de instituciones extractivas que generaron los denominados Ciclo de Oro yCiclo de la Hacienda.
