Abstract

Estudio crítico-hermenéutico e histórico-comparado de Economía Política e Historia Económica y del Pensamiento Social, aplicando enfoques heterodoxos, para revisar el proceso de colonización del Oeste estadounidense y refutar la visión dominante tendente al reduccionismo y la asunción de una serie de errores. Se atiende aquí a la importancia del factor religioso e ideológico, sistematizándose la diversidad de empresas coloniales privadas, impulsoras de granjas y talleres comunitarios, que facilitaron el desarrollo e integración del país. Se compara su gestión en términos de eficiencia y sostenibilidad. De este modo es posible explicar la paradoja de las utopías estadounidenses, según la cual, las últimas empresas en constituirse, que fueron las ideológicas, pese a contar con mayor capital, fueron las primeras en extinguirse, mientras que las religiosas, llegaron hasta la segunda revolución industrial y algunas hasta hoy.


Abstract: This is a critical-hermeneutical and historical-comparative study of Political Economy, Economic History and Social Thought, applying heterodox approaches, to review the process of colonization of the American West and refute the mainstream view based on reductionism and the assumption of a set of errors. Attention is paid here to the importance of the religious and ideological factor, systematizing the diversity of private colonial companies, promoters of communitarian farms and workshops, which facilitated the development and integration of the country. Its management is compared in terms of efficiency and sustainability. In this way, it is possible to explain the paradox of American utopias, according to which the last companies to be established, which were the ideological ones, despite having more capital, were the first to become extinct, while the religious ones reached the second industrial revolution and some until today.
