%0 Journal Article %A Millán Acevedo, María Natalia %A Gómez Bruna, Diana %T Contradictions between capitalism and sustainable human development: where is the 2030 agenda headed? %D 2024 %@ 1045-5752 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/109621 %X This article aims to analyse the basic premises of the theory of sustainable human development as it is based on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and contrast it with the theoretical and political proposals of capitalism. With this purpose, in the first place, the work studies the centralelements of development theory, as well as the basic premises that support the capitalist model. Secondly, the article compares the essential contradictions between both theoretical proposals, as well as the invisibility of these contradictions in the 2030 Agenda. The article concludes that the foundational ideas of capitalism, as well as the policies derived from these conceptions, are essentially opposed to the theory and practice of sustainable human development and that this is the real limit to advance in the 2030 Agenda. %~
