Abstract(s)
A economia vive uma grave crise paradigmática, cuja descrição resumida constitui o tema da primeira parte deste artigo. Através da leitura de diversos discursos presidenciais na Associação Americana de Economistas ou de diversos laureados pelo Prémio Nobel, essa crise é enunciada e discutida. A segunda parte discute algumas das respostas a esta crise, nomeadamente programas e projectos de fronteira que contribuem para substituir a ciência normal dos últimos cinquenta anos. São depois discutidos alguns dos progressos na economia computacional, no estudo da dinâmica não linear e nas ciências da complexidade, entre outros. Argumentar-se-á de que esses desenvolvimentos iluminam algumas das dificuldades centrais do paradigma mas não resolvem ainda as suas principais contradições, embora novos e importantes progressos estejam prometidos
Economics is currently undergoing a paradigmatic crisis that the author briefly summarises in the first part of this paper. The crisis is analysed and discussed against the back" ground of a series of presidential speeches delivered at the American Economic Association or given by different Nobel laureates. ln the second part, the author discusses some of the answers to this crisis, namely border programmes and projects that help to replace the mainstream theory of the last fifty years. The author focuses then on the developments achieved in computational economics, in the study of non-linear dynamics and in complexity sciences, among others. It may be argued that though they bring some insight into the nuclear difficulties of the paradigm, they still do not solve its main contradictions, notwithstanding the promise of new and significant improvements.
