political economy, growth and development model, American West, colonizing companiesAbstract
This is a critical-hermeneutical and historical-comparative study of Political Economy and Economic History on the model of growth and development applied to the nineteenth-century process of colonization of the American West. The theoretical and methodological frameworks on trade and development are reviewed, starting from Smith and the following reformulations. Also, the religious and ideological factor is introduced, to address the role of utopias or colonizing companies in the form of community farms and workshops. A systematization and comparison between the projects of protestant and millenarian religious movements (i.e. shakers, rappitas, amanitas) and utopian ideological initiatives (i.e. icarists, owenians, georgists) it is offered, evaluating which was more efficient and sustainable, and the solution for Hillquit paradox.
