Abstract
“The knowledge that the human being has developed to understand, to predict and to be able to act on the society, in a certain direction that could be considered suitable, is insufficient; specifically in the field of the economy the existing paradigms, in addition to dissimilar and opposed, lack explanatory, predictive and purposeful sufficiency”. From this assertion various factors that foster this situation are analyzed; thus addresses the problem of the scientific nature of the economy and the dispute between the different paradigms; the human origin of society or culture from its biological basis; the rapidly changing of social and economic phenomenon strongly accelerated the last two hundred years; the complexity of the economic facts that point to the need for a change in methodology for study; and human nature, subject to decisions underlying the economy. It is up to the idea of a necessary acceptance of the limits facing the economy to explain its subject, abandoning the pretense of objectivity that promises to establish categorical truths.
