Geographical points of view on under-development in latin America. (Abstract.) — The failure to use the natural environment to the full extent and the wastage both of men and of capital are the outstanding geographical characteristics of under-development. The author examines this in its principal forms in Latin America; he underlines that situations vary from country to country and from region to region. The attention of geographers should be drawn to the regions and pockets of population on the margins of the important economic areas. The dualistic appearances can only obscure the dependence of the more backward societies on those which are more developed. The analysis of the landscapes allows us to measure the degree of control human society has over its environment, and consequently to recognise regional inequalities more easily. Using this direct knowledge we can easily see the possibilities of improvement better than if we relied on statistics.

Abstract

Geographical points of view on under-development in latin America

Geographical points of view on under-development in latin America. (Abstract.) — The failure to use the natural environment to

the full extent and the wastage both of men and of capital are the outstanding geographical characteristics of under-development.

The author examines this in its principal forms in Latin America; he underlines that situations vary from country to country and

from region to region. The attention of geographers should be drawn to the regions and pockets of population on the margins of

the important economic areas. The dualistic appearances can only obscure the dependence of the more backward societies on

those which are more developed. The analysis of the landscapes allows us to measure the degree of control human society has

over its environment, and consequently to recognise regional inequalities more easily. Using this direct knowledge we can easily

see the possibilities of improvement better than if we relied on statistics.
