Abstract

The Economics developed before the 80s is an example of modem and intellectual work in which there exist a sharp crear cut between the theory and the (economic) world to be explained, and where the discemment of the world is not divorced from the intelligibility of the issues. In opposition to this, the Economics that started to develop in the 70s and that has monopolized the scenario of the 80s, could be consideradas a typically intellectualposmodem piece where the world and its analyst are found in the same position and where everything is understood and nothing makes sense. This fact allows to study the economist as an ideologist. The theorist of the Economics has evolved from being an ideologist son of modem times to an intellectual father of an incipient posmodem ideology, fluctuating from the technocratic awkwardness to the conformity of the established researcher. This article ends outlining the challenge faced by those who, convinced that radical nihilism is unavoidable and that things do not make any sense, know that there is not other medicine that the one generales certain sense of life in a world heavy in explanations.
