What do epistemology and methodology contribute to the economy?
Keywords:
METHODOLOGY, RATIONALITY, ECONOMY, EPISTEMOLOGYAbstract
This article aims to highlight Epistemology and Methodology’s contributions to the economy and the formation of economists. This includes, on the one hand, the need to consider a broader rationality beyond instrumental rationality for the analysis of economic phenomena, and on the other hand, the consequences of this reductionism for the positive economy.Downloads
