There are mostly sociological arguments to reduce or eliminate HET courses and contents to which we try to respond in this text. We advance that HET allows developing valuable skills that might help overcome the criticisms against Economics due to its alleged incapacity to offer solutions in times of crisis and to its fascination with quantification and technique.

Existen argumentos principalmente sociológicos para reducir o eliminar el espacio de la HPE; en este texto buscamos responder a estos argumentos para mostrar la vigencia y relevancia del área. En momentos en que la Economía es cuestionada por su incapacidad de ofrecer soluciones y por su fascinación con la medición y la técnica parece pertinente rescatar a la HPE como campo de reflexión, de crítica y de introspección para que los nuevos economistas entiendan que la Economía es un proceso y no un producto y puedan participar activamente en el presente extendido de su disciplina.18 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 28 Octubre de 2010https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/007712.htmlWhy teach history of economic thought today?¿Por qué enseñar la historia del pensamiento económico hoy?Documento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPHistory of economic thoughtTeaching in economicsEconomic theoryPensamiento económico - HistoriaEconomía - EnseñanzaTeoría económicaA11, A13, A14, A22, B2Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTEXTdcede2010-28.pdf.txtdcede2010-28.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain59318https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/30d64098-e143-4030-ad1d-0e60006170a3/download4f66c0e7116a796c42d265780b66a596MD54ORIGINALdcede2010-28.pdfdcede2010-28.pdfapplication/pdf490926https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/3af78f86-0dbc-4e8f-94c8-b3b2d698cc4c/download2612889bf51e73e3539b87fbdab44b8bMD51THUMBNAILdcede2010-28.pdf.jpgdcede2010-28.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg4136https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/b492297a-3e2b-413e-b6cf-4dec33007c7a/downloaddcddb40375587d32c4983da226f12101MD551992/8206oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/82062024-06-04 15:25:36.505http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
