Abstract

A consecuencia de la crisis financiera mundial de 2007/2008, se ha reavivado el debate en relación a los contenidos que se ofrecen en la formación académica de los economistas; particularmente, en el ámbito del estudio de los agregados macroeconómicos. En el presente artículo se argumenta que la ensenanza de la macroeconomía puede y debe ser impartida asumiendo una visión plural, no solo con la finalidad de facilitar la comprensión por parte de los estudiantes de fenómenos económicos complejos, sino también para incentivar en él la necesidad de contar con un marco amplio de teorías y referencias, para hacer frente a realidades económicas cambiantes. Asimismo, se ofrece una alternativa de ensenanza plural en el ámbito de las teorías y modelos de crecimiento económico; tópico que durante varias décadas ha sido abordado bajo un único enfoque, el neoclásico. ********* As a result of the global financial crisis of 2007/2008 the debate regarding the contents taught in the academic training of economists has been revived; particularly in the study of macroeconomics aggregates. In this article we argue that the teaching of macroeconomics can and must be taught in a pluralistic view, not only in order to facilitate the understanding of complex economic phenomena, but also to encourage in the student the need for a comprehensive framework of theories and references to cope with a changing economic reality. The present article also provides an alternative plural teaching in the field of economic growth; topic that has been addressed for decades under one particular approach, the neoclassical paradigm.
