The present article presents historical information about the periods of exploitation, transmuted in the figure of a fallacious development, which in the last 300 years, has not brought effective gains to the population residing in the Amazon. The criticism is based on the historiography of events that took place since Portuguese explorations with hinterland drugs in the 17th and 18th centuries; going through the economic cycle of rubber and mining of minerals; the exploitation of wood from the migratory flow encouraged by the military governments; reaching the present day with the production of agricultural commodities and hydroelectric enterprises. The false developmentalist conceptions make use of the extent to which the Amazon was exploited in the name of false development, said by those who exploit it in the name of progress and not as the effective and sustainable development of those who reside in the Amazon. All of this has resulted in gains for the few, resulting in the social, economic and environmental imbalance of many.
