Desarrollo económico con oferta ilimitada de mano de obra, de W. Arthur Lewis.

The article "Economic Development with Unlimited Labor Supply" by W. Arthur Lewis, published in 1954, presents an argument about the growth mechanism in developing economies. The author argues that economic development is achieved through the migration of workers from the traditional sector to the modern sector, driven by wage differentials. However, the assumption of unlimited labor supply has been the subject of debate and criticism. This article marks a milestone in the theory of economic development by abandoning the prevailing neoclassical assumptions at that time. The debate on this topic continues to the present day.

El artículo "Desarrollo económico con oferta ilimitada de mano de obra" de W. Arthur Lewis, publicado en 1954, presenta un argumento sobre el mecanismo de crecimiento en las economías en desarrollo. El autor sostiene que el desarrollo económico se logra a través de la migración de trabajadores del sector tradicional al sector moderno, impulsado por la diferencia salarial. Sin embargo, el supuesto de una oferta ilimitada de mano de obra ha sido objeto de debate y críticas. Este artículo marca un hito en la teoría del desarrollo económico al abandonar los supuestos neoclásicos vigentes en ese momento. El debate sobre este tema continúa hasta la actualidad.
