Abstract

The paper aims to analyze the role that history of economic thought and methodological pluralism can play in Economics. In order to achieve such a goal, it presents two arguments related to the Austrian School of Economics: the role played by the entrepreneur in Kirzner’s approach to the market process as an analogy to what is seen in the history of economic thought, and Hayek’s arguments for liberty as a defense of freedom of research and the existence of methodological pluralism. It is argued that, under the Austrian point of view, history of economic thought and methodological pluralism might be more appreciated by economists.
