Spanish Abstract: Este escrito presenta un trabajo inedito de 1970 del distinguido economista del desarrollo Lauchlin Currie (1902-1993) sobre el famoso articulo de 1944 acerca del “Gran Impulso” de Paul Rosenstein-Rodan, que llevo al debate del crecimiento balanceado y desbalanceado en el que Albert Hirschman (1915 - 2012) fue un participe importante. Tanto Currie como Hirschman fueron asesores economicos del gobierno colombiano y aqui se contrastan sus respectivos puntos de vista sobre la planeacion del desarrollo. En particular, se muestra que el articulo de Currie de 1970 esclarece la teoria que sirve de base al Plan Nacional 1971-1974 de Colombia, que el diseno y ayudo a ejecutar, y cuyas innovaciones institucionales han tenido un impacto duradero en la historia economica reciente de Colombia. English Abstract: This paper introduces an unpublished 1970 work written by the distinguished development economist Lauchlin Currie (1902-93) on Paul Rosenstein Rodan’s famous 1944 essay on the “Big Push” which led to the debate on balanced and unbalanced growth in which Albert Hirschman (1915-2012) was an important contributor. Both Currie and Hirschman had been key economic advisers to the Colombian government and here their respective views on development planning are contrasted. In particular, it is shown how Currie’s 1970 paper clarifies the theory that serves as the basis for Colombia’s 1971-74 National Plan, which he designed and helped execute, and whose institutional innovations have had a lasting impact on Colombia’s recent economic history.
