Abstract

En el presente ensayo se realiza una reflexión sobre el entramado de ideas que en el siglo XIX se usó como paradigma de las formas de organización agraria posibles para el país, en medio de un contexto marcado por la violencia, el subdesarrollo y la lucha de clases que resultó en un pronunciado contraste entre los efectos esperados y los resultados conseguidos. Se exploran las alternativas vinculadas al agro y una ponderación entre éstas y el modelo de desarrollo capitalista para finalmente hacer una breve reflexión sobre la posibilidad realista de su aplicabilidad. Se pretende demostrar así que, las condiciones del país no respondían a los modelos idealizados de desarrollo externos, porque se trataba de un territorio con condiciones singulares que requerían una interpretación propia. ****** In this paper, a reflection is made on the framework of ideas that in the 19th century were used as a paradigm of possible forms of agrarian organization for the country, in the midst of a context marked by violence, underdevelopment and class struggle which triggered in a sharp contrast between the expected effects and the results achieved. The alternatives linked to agriculture and a weighting between them and the model of capitalist development are explored, to make a brief reflection on the realistic possibility of its applicability. This is to demonstrate that the conditions of the country did not respond to the idealized models of external development, because it was a territory with unique conditions that required its own interpretation.
