Abstract

This article suggests a revitalization of the History of Economic Thought by the
adoption of new methods from the modem study of sciences. It shows the new horizons
open by this approach, which has its origins in the Kuhn’s classical work. It ends giving as
an example a case study based on the actor-network theory.
