Coloniality, development and liberation. An allegation from outside

Abstract

This paper is a research product about the historical ways how the hegemonic speeches about development, were constituted and how the western social institutions has legitimized these speeches along four centuries, which are supported mainly by the convergence between Modernity, as a way to understand the world; Capitalism, as a global economic system; and Coloniality, as a mechanism and the rules for domination. It is deepens in the social implications of this convergence, also recognizing the challenges that implies introducing other logics, along with new speeches and new experiences of freedom that reveal the crises that the actual models are going through.
