Abstract
The major advances in science and technology at the world level over the last thirty years are making it necessary to reinterpret the concept of ‘development’ and to offer explanatory schemes that incorporate explicitly the process of knowledge generation. However it is surprising how little attention development economists have given to this theme, even though there are a few notable exceptions to this general rule, with some development economists having turned their attention to technological issues in a partial way in recent times.1
