Abstract

En la literatura internacional, se reconoce significativamente la importancia de los condicionamientos históricos en el desarrollo capitalista y en las divergencias que se presentan entre regiones o países, una vez este se ha establecido. En este artículo, se rastrean, desde la colonia, aquellos factores históricos que han condicionado el desarrollo de la economía antioquena, a través de una revisión bibliográfica de historia económica de la región y contrastando con algunas hipótesis de desarrollo económico que reconocen el rol de los condicionamientos históricos. La principal conclusión es que, en línea con las hipótesis de Engerman y Sokoloff y de Bértola y Ocampo, las dotaciones geográficas iniciales y el tipo de composición demográfica, específicamente, la existencia de yacimientos de oro y de una población homogénea y relativamente libre, determinaron el posterior desarrollo de esta región. *** In the international literature, it is well recognized the significant importance of historical conditioning factors in capitalist development and divergences that exist between regions or countries, once established. In this article, we trace from the times of the colony those historical factors that have conditioned the development of the Antioquia economy, through a bibliographic review of the region's economic history and contrasting with some economic development hypotheses that recognize the role of the historical conditioning. The main conclusion is that, in line with the hypotheses of Engerman and Sokoloff and of Bértola and Ocampo, the initial geographic endowments and the type of demographic composition determined the later development of this region, specifically, the existence of gold deposits and a homogeneous and relatively free population.
