Description
Summary:This paper analyzes, through a bibliographic review, the proposals and developments of historical structuralism developed by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) as an example of the application of the pluralism of approaches in economics. ECLAC structuralism is understood as an economic theory focused on the analysis of Latin American reality that reclaims arguments from post-Keynesian, institutionalist, Marxian, classical and even of neoclassical theories. To achieve this goal, after a short introduction, traditional as well as recent discussions on the pluralism of approaches in Economics are presented in the second section. The third section presents the history and some ECLAC proposals that incorporate arguments from the aforementioned theories, with the purpose of verifying the possibilities of a pluralist approach in a practical and applied case, as we explained in the conclusion.
