Abstract

El pensamiento económico ha evolucionado en lo relacionado al crecimiento económico:éste, al principio, se consideró un fin y en los últimos anos un medio para lograr eldesarrollo humano. Así mismo, los términos desarrollo y crecimiento, si bien no sonrecientes en la literatura económica, empiezan a utilizarse con más vehemencia apartir de la posguerra.El ensayo analiza las ideas que se utilizaban en torno al desarrollo hasta 1990, cuandoel PNUD creó el IDH (Índice Desarrollo Humano) como la medida del desarrollohumano.Se describe en el artículo las tres variables básicas que componen el IDH: esperanza devida, nivel educacional e ingreso. Así mismo las modificaciones en la estimación dedichas variables realizadas por el PNUD.__________ABSTRACT:The conceptions about Economy have changed regarding economic growth.
