In particular it is examined the possibility or impossibility of coexistence<br />of different paradigms in Economics; is it possible the synthesis of different paradigms?<br />why yes or why no? Also, it is reviewed the recent rnethodology discussion related to the<br />lack of relevance and lack of explanation of Reality of present formal and esoteric theoretic<br />models; modern formal theory is more interested in optimizing than in explaining. How did<br />we arrive to this state of affairs and what to do about it. Latin America faces urgent economic<br />problems, therefore relevance should be the main focus of most economic research.</p> <p><strong>JEL Classification:</strong> B22; B41.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Political Economy}, author={Meller, PatrĂ­cio}, year={1987}, month={Oct.}, pages={531-551} }
