Resumen

This systematic literature review analyzes the different general growth theories presented at an international level and the forms of growth presented for the Colombian case in the creation of real opportunities for improvement in the quality of life. Through a general tour of the different theories put forward by the great thinkers of history such as Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, Keynes, among many others, it has been shown how the needs of each era induce the scarcity of the creation of mechanisms that induce to the growth of each economy. The analysis takes into account the normative reforms, commercial treaties and motivations on the part of the State, which have allowed in one way or another to establish growth parameters in certain periods of Colombian history; In the first years of human existence, this concept of growth was not decisive in the first communities, since many of their tasks were in favor of obtaining food and their own survival. This is how external and internal events affect the economy and the growth of a nation, economic depressions, wars, products, forms of work, institutions, government or development plans, etc., join or not in the achievement of benefits that lead to nations to place themselves in an economic environment without so much dependence on external mechanisms, this not only in favor of quantitative objectives, but also qualitative ones in search of continuous and sustainable improvement of the quality of life.
