The main hypotesis of this article relys on the Colonial social relationship and the neoclassicists philosophy as the roots of Latin America authoritarian rule. From the concept of “natural” human being, patronizing and clientelism drove to an asymmetric relationship between authority and individuals within a corporative society. Although the Borbonism and liberalism had been strong dynamic forces, they were unsuccessful for changing such scheme and only a secularization process could timidly be carried on. For consequence, the Latin America politic modernization went on an authoritarian way, turning to populism, whereas individual became subaltern of the State; so, citizenship become indefinitely postponed

This essay aim to set new hypothesis for Latin American’s development problem; the analysis is focused from “the encounter of two worlds” to the present. The generaland main hypothesis is a sort of “clutched” between the “Pre-Columbian System” and the “European System” and resulted in a so-called “Colonial System”. This “Colonial System” is defined as juxtaposition of systems and it has been suffering Western influence like a kind of “external shock” but keeping to an already hybrid system, wherein an inertial dynamic and not a dialectic one has been the main trait. The whole historical process is explained under such a point of view.
