Abstract

Este trabajo estudia la relación entre la economía, la biología y la teoría de la evolución. Comienza analizando la influencia que tuvieron tanto Malthus como los primeros economistas en el nacimiento de la teoría de la selección natural. Luego pasa revista a la relación inversa, es decir a la transmisión de ideas que corre de la teoría de la evolución hacia el pensamiento económico, para lo que se estudian las ideas de Marshall, Veblen, Hayek y Schumpeter, entre otros. Posteriormente analiza el estado actual de la denominada economía evolucionista, y analizando las contribuciones recientes más importantes, destacando la influencia de las ideas de Schumpeter. Finalmente se realizan algunas reflexiones sobre las cuestiones expuestas. / This paper studies the relationship between economics, biology and the theory of evolution. It begins by analysing the influence that both Malthus and the early economists had on the birth of the theory of natural selection. It then looks at the reverse relationship, i.e. the transmission of ideas from evolutionary theory to economic thought, studying the ideas of Marshall, Veblen, Hayek and Schumpeter, among others. It then analyses the current state of so-called evolutionary economics, analysing the most important recent contributions, highlighting the influence of Schumpeter's ideas. Finally, some reflections are made on the topics discussed.
