Abstract

The emergence of evolutionary economy receives more attention in economic thought as its studies and researches proceed. This study has a comparative approach in the methodological and historical aspects of this new research program and the current mainstream: neoclassical economics. For this, we explore Imre Lakatos's contribution to economic methodology and expose the most important theories of this new chain and from there we seek an understanding between the two research programs.
