Prologue to the Spanish translation of Michael Dummett, Origins of analitical philosophy
2020
After an examination of the motivations behind the writing of 'Origins of analitical philosophy,' the discussion moves on to themes which are central to Dummett's book such as: the priority thesis, the linguistic turn, the comparison between some important aspects of Frege's and Husserl's philosophies, the relationship between language and thought. The Prologue ends with an examination of the Dummettian concept of proto-thought, as a thought whose vehicle is not language, which seems to open the way for the use of the empirical sciences in the construction of a theory of thought. This, of course, could have, for Dummett, at least one unwelcome conseguence: a strong drive to produce a philos…

Nine introductory theses about dystopia
 
 Resumen: Este artículo proporciona una introducción actualizada a la distopía y una exégesis del apogeo ilimitado que esta vive. Y lo hace planteando nueve tesis.

A lo largo de las tres tesis posteriores, señalo las causas sociales e ide…
EARLY DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS DEBATES REVISITED
2007
Development economics in its early years created the image of a fierce fight between advocates of contrasting theories or approaches—“balanced growth” vs. “unbalanced growth,” or “program loans” vs. “project loans.” This view has the merit of highlighting such conflicts in great detail; yet, it fails to take into account the reality of development economics as it was practiced in the field. This paper reassesses these old conflicts by complementing the traditional focus on theoretical debates with an emphasis on the practice of development economics.A particularly interesting example is the debate between Albert Hirschman, one of the fathers of the “unbalanced growth” approach, and Lauchlin…
Women’s Approach to Economics and Firms
2011
Women and works by female economists appeared in the economic literature of the Classical and Neoclassical periods. While a portion of such literature popularized the approaches of male economists, others part criticized some established views, especially those dealing with wages, education, and the position of women in the family. The objective of this article is to analyze the main economic approaches held by women, starting with an analysis of the situation of women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The differences between women’s thoughts on economics and the classical and neoclassical economic approaches are considered, as well as women’s thoughts on productivity and firm’s a…
STAATSTÄTIGKEIT UND MULTIPLIKATOR IN DEN SCHRIFTEN LUDWIG GALLS-EINE DOGMENGESCHICHTLICHE ERGÄNZUNG ZUR BESCHÄFTIGUNGSTHEORIE
1969
SUMMARY The German author Heinrich Ludwig Lambert Gall (1794-1863) who is characterized as socialist by the authors of histories of economic thought proposed a policy for full employment, based on the multiplier-principle and public expenditures financed by taxes, since 1822. Not Rodbertus but Gall was the first one describing the multiplier scheme. The interpretation of Gall's publications shows his important ideas about interventionism similar to the modern theory of full employment and the activity of the state.

Are business cycles asymmetric? Some European evidence
1997
Economic thought has ofien regal'ded business cycles as asymmetric.

El enfoque franciscano y la ciencia. De la Escolástica Tardía a la vía moderna
2021
Resumen La Escolástica Tardía marca un hito en la historia del pensamiento filosófico. En este periodo se establecen las bases de un profundo proceso de transformación en la forma de observar la naturaleza a través de una minuciosa recolección de datos, experimentos y posteriores análisis.

Los pensadores franciscanos analizan las realidades del mundo con un dinamismo pragmático sumamente original. Abstract Late Scholasticism marks a milestone in the history of philosophical thought. In this period, a profound process of transformation took place in the …
