Following Odd Langholm certain ideas of Lugo presents this scho-lar as an author in transition between scholastic and natural law philosophers paradigms. The key point is the depersonalization or the objectivization of the economy characterized by the disappearance of the interpersonal eco-nomic relations and the necessity as a condition of the will and of the co-venants validity. These ideas appear on Lugo writings over the will and the keeping covenants. This paper revise Langholm thesis. The authors agreeing over the second item, not fully over the first one. Anyway, this «new ideas» are a Lugo attempt to fit the new economic reality with the scholastic legacy, where he belongs to. Key words: History of Economic Thought, dominant position, ethics and justice. Códigos JEL: B11, D42, Z10. Resumen: Odd Langholm reconoce en Lugo ciertas ideas que lo presen-tan como un autor en transición entre el paradigma escolástico y el de los filósofos del derecho natural. El elemento central de esta transición es la despersonalización u objetivación de la economía caracterizada por la desaparición de la dimensión interpersonal en las relaciones económicas y de la necesidad como condicionante de la voluntad y de la validez de los contratos. Estas ideas se hacen patentes en Lugo en el tratamiento de la voluntad y en el del cumplimiento de los contratos. En este trabajo se revisa la tesis de Langholm concluyendo que en el primer caso la ruptu-ra no es radical, pero sí en el segundo. En cualquier caso, las «nuevas ideas» en Lugo son un intento de armonizar la nueva realidad económi-ca con la tradición escolástica, a la que pertenece. Palabras clave: Historia del pensamiento económico, posición dominante, ética y justicia.

The role of traveling as a source of discovery and development of new ideas has been controversial in the history of economics. Despite their protective attitude toward established theory, economists have traveled widely and gained new insights or asked new questions as a result of their exposition to “other” economic systems, ideas and forms of behavior. That is particularly the case when they travel to new places while their frameworks are in their initial stages or undergoing changes. This essay examines economists’ traveling as a potential source of new hypotheses, from the 18th to the 20th centuries, with a detailed case study of Douglass North’s 1961 travel to Brazil.

The present paper is devoted to showing, via a reductio as absurdum argument, that all externalist explanations for truth in economics are false, but that if any are used, it should not be the democratic one utilized by Rosen (1997). Rather, even though it is equally fallacious, it should the one proposed in the present paper: the last publication in a debate indicates the substantive winner.

This review of the almanakh Istoki (Origins) traces the discussions between well-known economists happening both within and between various parts of the book. These different positions in macroeconomics, economic methodology, history of economic thought and economic history demonstrate the multidimensionality of the book prompting its readers to abandon logical empiricism and belief that there is a single "true" theory.

AbstractThe target article by Boyer & Petersen (B&P) contributes a vital message: that people have folk economic theories that shape their thoughts and behavior in the marketplace. This message is all the more important because, in the history of economic thought, Homo economicus was increasingly stripped of mental capacities. Intuitive theories can help restore the mind of Homo economicus.

Deep comprehension of the advanced economic theory, the talent of lecturer enforced by the outstanding working ability forwarded Vladimir Geleznoff scarcely at the end of his thirties to prepare the publication of “The essays of the political economy” (1898). The subsequent publishing success (8 editions in Russia, the 1918­-year edition in Germany) sufficiently demonstrates that Geleznoff well succeded in meeting the intellectual inquiry of the cross­road epoch of the Russian history and by that taking the worthful place in the history of economic thought in Russia. Being an acknowledged historian of science V. Geleznoff was the first and up to now one of the few to demonstrate the worldwide community of economists the theoretically saturated view of Russian economic thought in its most fruitful period (end of XIX — first quarter of XX century).
