Abstract

Since economics was separed from (political) philosophy at the end of XVIIIth century, two a priori delimitations of economics as a discipline are in competition : a formal delimitation according to which the economist deals with rational choice and a substantial delimitation which is that almost all heterodox streams according to which in all kinds of societies there is a subject of economics which is the fields of production and distribution of wealth. Without examining more the first one, this paper criticizes the second one as it deals with only one subject of the social life. For a science as economics, a specific subject must be delimited inside a one-disciplinary basis, within an historical, institutionalist-structuralist and pragmatic approach. This subject is the economic order of the modern society, which must not be identified with capitalism, as thought by Marx.
