A historical comparison of three rural territorial dynamics in Ecuador demonstrates that deliberate planning is not necessary to promote an inclusive and equitable economic dynamic if a long historical process has created favorable territorial social structures. When territories do not have such social structures, they are more likely to require a strong exogenous shock to create a new and inclusive economic organization.enLatin AmericansTransformative learningSocial dynamicsPolitical scienceShock (circulatory)Dynamics (music)Development economicsEconomic growthEconomic geographyPolitical economySociologyGeographyEconomicsSocial scienceLawarticle
