Resumen Técnico
La primera conclusión que se extrae de estos y otros casos es que se torna imprescindible prestar más atención a la estructura y a la calidad del crecimiento para tener la seguridad de que el mismo esté efectivamente orientado al desarrollo humano, la reducción de la pobreza, la protección del medio ambiente y la garantía de sustentabilidad. En definitiva: el fin es el desarrollo humano; el crecimiento económico es un medio. El propósito del crecimiento económico debe ser enriquecer la vida de la gente.
Summary
In this project the relationship between capital stock and growth and departmental development will be analyzed considering the capital stock concept to the models of regional growth where the variables of physical, human and social capital at departmental level are also considered. The application of the social capital concept to t models of growth allows us to infer that to finish with underdevelopment some politics, that try to increase the investment in physical, human and social capital coordinately, are needed. At added level this investment would lead to externalities coming from the complementarities among the different economic activities, the learning effect and the capacity of the community to undertake collective actions that result in a mutual benefit.
The first conclusion that is extracted of these and other cases is that it is essential to focus on the structure and quality of municipalities growth to be sure that it is really oriented to human development, reduction of poverty, protection of the environment and defensible development . In conclusion: the purpose of growth economic must be to enrich people's life.
