Abstract

Resumen: Los aportes de la escuela neoinstitucionalista son reconocidos hoy como uno de los mayores en el campo económico; esto debido a que en su análisis económico del mercado incluyen una gama de aspectos que son fundamentales en la toma de decisiones de las empresas y los agentes llamado costos de transacción. Lo paradójico es que parte de este "gran hallazgo" ya había sido expuesto un siglo antes por Karl Marx en el segundo tomo de El Capital, Crítica de la Economía Política y aun no ha sido reconocido. La contribución de Marx sobre costos de Circulación es enorme, pues define, clasifica y propone soluciones a dichos costos de una manera rigurosa y novedosa, incluso aventajando a las propuestas actuales; lo extrano es que esta propuesta teórica no ha sido reconocida por ninguno de los economistas que trabajan en el tema. Abstract: The contributions of the neoinstitutionalist school are recognized today like one of the more important in the economic field; this due that include a range of aspects that are fundamental in the taking of decisions of the companies called Transaction Costs in their economic analysis of the market. The paradoxical thing is that this "great discovery" it had already been exposed before one century by Karl Marx in the Second book of The Capital, Critic of the Political Economy. Marx´s contribution about the Costs of Circulation it is enormous, because it defines, it classifies and it proposes solutions to this expense in a rigorous and novel way, even leading to the current proposals. The strange thing is that this theoretical proposal has not been recognized by none of the economists that work in the topic.
