Abstract
In 1966, sociologists Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Enzo Faletto wrote, on the request of Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC), the classic Dependence and Development in Latin America, in which they sought to underline social and economic fundamentals of what they called “national underdevelopment.” Almost half-century later, the Latin American reality is not the same, but the method adopted by Cardoso and Faletto can still be used to analyze it. A proof of its actuality is its resemblance with some methodological approaches that operate in the intersection between economics and social sciences by Anglo-Saxon scholars.

In 1966, the Brazilian sociologist Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Enzo Faletto produced by request of the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC), the classic Dependency and Development in Latin America
In 1964, the Latin American Institute for Economic and Social Planning (ILPES), body of ECLAC, held a seminar on development and dependency, which was attended by the principal authors of the time about the challenges of Latin American development, such as Raul Prebisch, Celso Furtado, Oswaldo Sunkel, Francisco Weffort, and Anibal Pinto (Cardoso & Faletto, 2004, p. 8)
Cardoso and Faletto (2004) advanced the theory by expanding economic relations to the political and social structures. In this sense, was required to seek a theoretical point of intersection, where economic power is expressed as social domination, that is, like politics, for it is through the political process that a class or economic group tries to establish a system of social relations that enable it to impose the a society as a whole mode of production itself, or at least tries to make alliances or other groups or classes in order to develop an economical way consistent with their interests and goals
Summary
In 1966, the Brazilian sociologist Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Enzo Faletto produced by request of the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC), the classic Dependency and Development in Latin America. Cardoso and Faletto (2004) advanced the theory by expanding economic relations to the political and social structures. The form of domination was identified at the time of populism, defined as a political model in which the classes related to the emerging process of industrialization (both national modernizing bourgeoisie and popular sectors, especially urban) found—or rather, formed, with different degrees of power and influence in the final product—a state and a system that could meet the political, economic, and social crisis of oligarchic domination.” (Calderon & Jelin, 1987)
