Abstract

From its constitution in the 17th century as the discipline of quantitative social relations, economics has tried to be a science similar to that of natura and for that reason, for some people, it appears as a “hard science.” To reach this goal, theoretic economists sought to build a natural and mathematical representation of society through value and Price theories excluding politics and Money. Nevertheless, the article shows that the same analystical progress due to the generalization of mathematics in modern neoclassic theory far from confirming the intuitive results of the great founders, have shown the extent to which the most important questions of economic theory remain without an acceptabel answer; i.e., the absence of a true science.
