El Buen Vivir como alternativa al desarrollo. Algunas reflexiones económicas y no tan económicas

El texto parte de una crítica a cómo los países colonizadores han usado los fantasmas del “desarrollo” y del “progreso” para dominar a los que consideraban países “atrasados”. En el debate del post-desarrollismo se recoge el Buen Vivir como una alternativa al desarrollo, no como una alternativa de desarrollo. El Buen vivir como practicas vivenciales de resistencia al colonialismo, y como una categoría central de los pueblos indígenas, pero no como una visión única.

Por esto es necesaria una nueva economía que respete los “derechos de la naturaleza”. Se relatan los diversos componentes que esta nueva economía puede tener para una transición paciente hacia el Buen Vivir.
