This work paper describes the concept of development, the state and public policies in Venezuela between 2005-2014. The research is theoretical documentary and descriptive (Gadamer, 1977; Dilthey, 2000; Cifuentes, 2003; Sandín, 2003; Martínez, 2005; Arias, 2006). The findings show a contradictory way between neoliberal policies clothed with an alternative discourse that result in a centralized government trying to implement a socialist model since 2005, whose distinctive feature is the concentration of power and state control over the economy and social relations. As final remarks concern is highlighted by finding outlets that build an alternative based on basic agreements and tolerance between different ideological positions.
