Economy, Culture and Development: a first approximation on the theoretical origins of the approach of the subject

Abstract

It is common the existence of a relation supports between culture and development. It already has many works if dedicated to the subject. In this text the claim had been to contribute in the discussion, rescuing some theoretical origins of the relation between economy, culture and development, present in the different theoretical currents. There is used a synthesis of the theories of the development, from which there are detached the theoretical conceptions that justify such a relation. We conclude that the definition of development, when differentiated from economic growth, and contemplated the notion of structural changes within economic, social, cultural and technological changes, there is not only a relationship between economy, culture and development. The economic dimension and culture are the constituent elements of development processes, along with the social, political, spatial, ecological and technological developments.
