In the epistemological context of theory transfer and scientific exchanges, the aim of this paper is to indicate the presence of Weberian categories and ideas on dependency theory formulated by
Fernando Cardoso and Enzo Faletto. Here we see how the construction of this paradigm was based
on some issues, concepts, approaches and orientations of the Weberian research program
formulated by José Medina Echavarría to explain Latin American development. We will also
consider the contexts of enunciation and reception theories, allowing us to talk about the
“sociological school” that was formed in the Social Planning Division of ILPES in mid-sixties, crucial
for understanding the history of sociology in Latin America.
