Abstract

The major issues concerning political macroeconomic decisions, national economic environments, as well as links which connect these topics to economic growth and human development, are addressed here, mainly from the standpoint of the Latin American countries. In the first section, central features of fiscal, monetary and the exchange rate policies are addressed. Following this, links between macroeconomic policies and economic growth are discussed. Then, fundamental characteristics of human development concepts are emphasized, to highlight the dual relationship between economic growth and human development within specific context of societies, taking into account special dynamics from the potential “Dutch disease” presence in a country. Principal conclusions include those which underline the need of stability, institutional infrastructure, and social conditions to support sustainable economic growth and human development, as dynamic and permanent accomplishments of a society.
