Abstract

The university professor, Gheorghe Bãileºteanu considers that economic semiosis must develop in two distinct directions: widening the use of signs in applied and theoretical economics (moving from the scientific language to a symbolized one) and the construction of some axiomatic systems that are capable of assuring the logic of the economic science. In my research areas, I propose a third direction, the interpretation of signs, this is composed of: an inventory of signs, a syntax (the relationships between the signs), semantics (concerning the relations between signs and the objects that they describe), pragmatics (a study of signs in relation to the subject that uses this language). In this working paper however, I will try to explore a new path for the axiomatisation of economic theory, through semiotics. For that reason, I will use a simple analysis method and apply it on a economic unit, a firm that produces cement.
