摘要:AbstractIn the contemporary society, people consider that the lack of economic resources or the limited access to them, generated by the unequal or unfair distribution of revenues, is the main cause of the precarious human development. In this paper, it is our purpose to identify the causes that generate and enforce the penury of economic resources in highly economic developed areas. At the same time, we highlight the difference between the factors supporting human development process and the ones assuring human sustainability, as precept of sustainable economic development. Basically, the phase of development, either human or economic, is tightly connected with the process of distribution of the fortune resulting from rational use of incomes produced in the economic process of a nation.
