Resumen
En este artículo se examinan los principales cambios ocurridos en el pensamiento económico desde la revolución generada por Keynes y Kalecki; a partir de ésta se hace un recorrido general de los problemas y escollos que han llevado a la Economía a su estado actual; entre los principales se mencionan: un profundo divorcio de las ciencias sociales y de la historia, una especialización extrema, la aparición de un conjunto de modas intelectuales que han desviado la reflexión de los economistas de los problemas fundamentales de su campo y una inadecuada utilización de las matemáticas en Economía que ha desembocado en la construcción de modelos abstractos sin mayor contenido social. Teniendo en cuenta los problemas anteriores, en la última parte se esboza una serie de reflexiones que puede abrir nuevas perspectivas de trabajo e investigación.
Abstract
This paper examines the main changes of economic thought occurred alter the revolution generated by Keynes and Kalecki. Taking this as a point of departure we travel through the problems and difficulties which have led economics to its presented state. Among these problems we find: the deep divorce between social sciences and history, the extreme level of specialization, the adoption of a fashionable intellectual behavior which has deviated the economist’s reflection away from the fundamental issues of the discipline and an inadequate use of math in economics which has resulted in the construction of abstract models without any social contents. Considering this problems we find some reflections which could open some new perspectives in the work and research in economics.
