Resumen:
The structuralist school is a development theory that emerged in Latin America at the end of 1940s and achieved its peak of influence during 1950s and 1960s. Its origin is generally associated with the publication of two books by the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA) "El desarrollo económico de América Latina y algunos de sus principales problemas? (1949) and "Estudio económico de América Latina" (1950). The author of these books was the director of ECLA Raul Prebisch, a leading Argentine economist which is recognized as the father of the Structuralist school. In these publications Prebisch sets up the main ideas associated to structuralism which during the 1940s and beginning of the 1950s were linked to Latin America but soon gained consensus throughout the developing world. As a result, the works of some of the most remarkable authors of this school such as Celso Furtado, Anibal Pinto, Julio Olivera, Hans Singer, Enrique Cardoso, Luiz Bresser Pereira and Osvaldo Rosales, became common in Third world countries.
