Los economistas más prestigiosos son los principales críticos del formalismo y del abuso de las matemáticas pese al éxito que obtuvieron haciendo lo que hoy critícan en sus discursos Nobel. Este artículo analiza por qué los economistas no se hacen las preguntas pertinentes desde el comienzo de la carrera, acudiendo a una interpretación del mito del Santo Grial basada en la psicología de Carl Jung. Compara la formación de los economistas con la formación de la caballeros de la edad media y muestra que una de las razones sociológicas del formalismo excesivo es que los científicos no sólo buscan la verdad sino que también buscan la aprobación de otros científicos.application/pdfspaFacultad de Ciencias Economicas - Universidad Nacional de Colombiahttp://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/ceconomia/article/view/12721Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Cuadernos de EconomíaCuadernos de EconomíaCuadernos de Economía; Vol. 16, núm. 26 (1997); 187-195 2248-4337 0121-4772Morong, Cyrill (1997) Economists, parsifal and the search of holy grail.

The economics profession finds itself unsatisfied with the state of economic theory. The most prestigious economists are the main critics of formalism and the abuse of mathematics, despite the success they have had doing what they now criticize in their Nobel speeches. This article analyzes why economists do not ask the pertinent questions from the outset of their careers, using an interpretation of the myth of the Holy Grail based on the psychology of Carl Jung. It compares the formation of economists with the formation of the knights of the middle ages and shows that one of the socioloqical reasons for excessiveformalism is that scientists seek not only the truth, but also theapproval of other scientists. |
