La crisis del modelo de desarrollo ha dado una nueva vigencia a organizaciones que no pertenecen ni al sector privado tradicional ni al sector público. Estas organizaciones reciben diferentes apelaciones, tercer sector, economía solidaria, economía social, economía popular, organizaciones de desarrollo social, etc. Este trabajo se propone analizar los contextos de utilización de algunos de estos términos que designan las actividades que escapan a la lógica capitalista y a la lógica de la administración pública. La nueva constitución venezolana de 2000 incluye en su artículo 184 un término nuevo en el país, el de economía social. Se trata de un término que data del siglo XIX, cuando era utilizado sobre todo en el mundo francófono. La crisis del modelo de desarrollo fordista ha llevado a su reactualización a partir de los años 1980. Las definiciones que tiene varían según los países. Este trabajo tiene como propósito precisar el significado de este término, y de otros que le son afines. Luego, se definen algunos criterios para la delimitación de un sector de economía social en Venezuela.

This brief note explores the possibility of working towards an enlarged self-definition of economics through economists’ study and appreciation of economic sociology. Common ground between economic sociology and heterodox economics is explored, and some of Richard Sennett’s ideas are used as prompts to raise some pertinent and hopefully interesting questions about economics. In particular, the note revisits the question of whether there is a possibility of changing our understanding of what kind of social scientific work falls within the domain of economics proper once we start critically engaging with work conventionally considered to be outside of that domain. In part, the note is intended to offer undergraduate students in economics – and possibly even those further down the road in their education – food for thought about what constitutes economics.
This course will introduce key concepts, theories and methods from socioeconomics. The first part of the course, will deal with the main economic actors and how their interactions are governed. Markets are seen as sets of social institutions. Institutions shape how consumers, firms and other economic actors behave. While it is difficult to understand how novelty emerges, we can study the conditions that are conducive to innovation. We will review how economic performance, social progress and human wellbeing are measured and what progress has been made. In the second part of the course, we will study a specific macroeconomic model that accounts for biophysical boundaries and inequality.

Economics has become a monolithic science, variously described as formalistic and autistic with neoclassical orthodoxy reigning supreme. So argue Dimitris Milonakis and Ben Fine in this new major work of critical recollection.
Smith contends that there is no possible solution to our global ecological crisis within the framework of any conceivable capitalism.

Economics After the Crisis is an introductory economics textbook, covering key topics in micro and macro economics. However, this book differs from other introductory economics textbooks in the perspective it takes, and it incorporates issues that are presently underserved by existing textbooks on the market.
