Economic models: their influence on the geography of Honduran development

Abstract

This article delves into the problem of socioeconomic polarization of Honduran society, whose productive force and modernity has been concentrated in just a couple of urban and industrial development poles, at the expense of the majority of internal regions, where high levels of inequality and postponement are suffered. An explanation of its causes and consequences is proposed from a historical perspective that reviews a period from 1899 to date, which allows us to reflect on the implications of the political decisions and economic development models adopted by the ruling class in the future of time, to efficiently lead to equitable development. The study reveals the influence that this combination of aspects is inherent in the decision making of the highest level plays a decisive role in shaping our current map of asymmetries between country regions, which today weakens efforts towards an inclusive economic takeoff of our society. Information of valuable importance is sustained in development planning in the face of the enormous challenges of globalization in which we are immersed.
