摘要

The thesis defended in this paper is that, if we are willing to make Economics a relevant discipline to cope with real-world challenges, changes in the policy paradigm still dominant, although useful and welcome, are not sufficient. What is required is a change of the scientific paradigm. The proposal here advanced is that the civil economy paradigm is a viable and promising alternative to the political economy paradigm. To this end, an essential comparison of the two paradigms, in terms of their respective ontological and epistemological characteristics, is carried on. The final section advances a proposal to overcome the disturbing intellectual monopoly still present in the discipline and to favour “a new spirit of pluralism”.
