The economic-social sciences in the 1960s and the 1970s was the world-wide most recognized Latin-American and Caribbean eidetic production. Its vast circulation reached several regions, including not even thought places. Among the numerous African and Asian countries where it was recognized, we must mention Sri-Lanka. Considering the impact of those economic-social sciences in Sri Lanka, we studied the work of three authors: Gamani Corea, Susantha Goonatilake and Satchi Ponnambalam. Our intention was to give an answer to two questions: 1-What aspects of these economic-social sciences had the most ample reception? We concluded that among the authors, the most cited have been Raúl Prebisch y André G. Frank; in relation to language, the production in English was quite more receipted than the other ones; about the filter, the ideas most abundantly received were those previously digested by the Anglo-Saxon intellectual community working about development. 2-What theoretical elaborations created Sri-Lankan authors, having those economic-social sciences as nourishment? The conclusions go in two levels: first, in relation with crossings made, we detect tendencies proceeding from the economy of development, from third-world ideologies and African socialism; and second, in relation with the characterization or classification of the intellectual products or new eidetic systems elaborated, we can talk about “thirdwoldist and identitarian development theories”.
