Abstract The essay shows some characteristics of government's concepts about Latin American development through its macroeconomic approaches in three historical contexts: economic nationalism of the twentieth century, neo-liberalism (1980-2000) and post neoliberal period (from 2000). At the same time, it provides a brief summary of Latin American intellectual currents that influenced the positions and macroeconomic policies. The behavior of foreign investments and US actions, through international organizations, advocated playing a primary export extractive economic model are also shown.

Keywords : development; extractivism; economic nationalism; neoliberalism.
