The Moroccan economy: analysis in the light of the economic development theories. The sustained growth of the Moroccan economy, registered during the last decade can leave hope for economic growth for the country and the beginning of improvement of living standards of its population classified as very poor development indicators. We have tried in this article to compare the development of the Moroccan economy since independence until 2014, with the pioneering development of theories, namely the theory of vicious circles of poverty Nurkse, the theory of dual economy of Lewis, the theory of economic retard of Rostow and the structuralist theory developed by Prebisch. This exercise revealed that the Moroccan economy, both complies with some features of these theories, but it stands out on other aspects. This finding corroborates the complexity of underdevelopment.
