Abstract

This paper analyses the institutionalisation of economics as a discipline in Colombia during the 20th century. The establishment of economics departments and schools, the arrival of Lauchlin Currie and Alfred Hirschman among the World Bank's program and recommendations in the 50's is briefly compiled under a historical approach. In addition, the study examines how the discipline has been assembled, the creation of think tanks, their approaches, objectives and their integration with public policy. It concludes that there was a process of democratisation in economics education during the first half of the 20th century, but that the technocracy remained under the power of a handful of men
