Abstract

Este estudio de carácter exploratorio y analítico descriptivo sistematiza aspectos ya conocidos y aporta otros que sirven de insumo para profundizar en la política hacia el trabajo por cuenta propia y su relación con el proyecto socialista cubano. Se utilizó un enfoque metodológico cualitativo con métodos y técnicas de análisis documental, observación no participante, entrevista semiestructurada y a expertos. Es un análisis crítico de teorías del desarrollo y presupuestos teóricos sistematizados sobre el sector informal, cuentapropismo y pequeña y mediana empresa. Se comprobó que el acercamiento al fenómeno de la política de potenciar el cuentapropismo debe realizarse desde determinadas particularidades epistemológicas para comprenderlo profundamente. Para una mirada renovada y multidimensional del desarrollo se requiere integrar elementos de diferentes disciplinas científicas, de la cosmovisión popular y contenidos político-ideológicos de organizaciones que hoy disputan el proyecto de creación del socialismo. En sus propuestas existen elementos repetidos, que se complementan o contradicen. Por eso es importante una selección coherente entre sí, con las utopías del proyecto cubano y con las características de la población y del sistema. / This exploratory and analytical descriptive study systematizes aspects already known and provides others that serve as input to deepen the policy towards self-employment and its relationship with the Cuban socialist project. A qualitative methodological approach with methods and techniques of documentary analysis, non-participant observation, semi-structured interview and experts was used. It is a critical analysis of development theories and systematized theoretical budgets on the informal sector, self-employment and small and medium enterprises. It was found that the approach to the phenomenon of the policy of promoting self-employment must be carried out from certain epistemological particularities to understand it deeply. For a renewed and multidimensional view of development, it is necessary to integrate elements of different scientific disciplines, of the popular worldview and political-ideological contents of organizations that today dispute the project of creation of socialism. There are repeated elements in their proposals, which complement or contradict each other. That is why a coherent selection among them is important, with the utopias of the Cuban project and with the characteristics of the population and the system.
