Teorías del valor: coincidencias y divergencias en la economía y la antropología social

Theories of value: similarities and differences in economics and social anthropology

Contenido principal del artículo

Juan José García del Hoyo
Celeste Jiménez de Madariaga

Resumen

Este artículo revisa la concepción del valor en economía y antropología. Muestra que entre estas disciplinas ha habido un distanciamiento debido a diferencias metodológicas y al tema de estudio, sobre todo cuando los hechos económicos se estudian desde el punto de vista puramente individual y se omite el marco cultural e institucional. En los últimos años ha habido una reconciliación a través del pensamiento institucionalista, que se nutre de otras ciencias sociales, da mayor realismo a los modelos económicos y hace posible interpretar mejor la complejidad del mundo económico.
