The pendulum's option
„The pendulum of ideologically motivated preferences has presently reached the extreme right of the perspective on economic rationality, the principle of methodological individualism being responsible for the milestones of a reinvented wonderful new world.”
The epistemic pressures on the conceptual body of Economics arrive from an area not quite tangent to economic practice. The emerging issue is the politics' habit of inventing within the spectrum of the need for notoriety, by personalizing the short cycle in the agenda of institutionalized change. Which signifies, simply put, the recourse to heavy-handedness or ideatic shocks destined to keep the intellectual attention on a creative path to benefit the function of power. Economics could not avoid this perverted command.
