Schumpeter, progress of economics, epistemological instrumentalism, history of the economic scienceAbstract
The objective of this paper is to show that the schumpeterian notion of progress of the
economic science is instrumentalist. Shionoya (1990) establishes the basic connections
between Mach's instrumentalism and the schumpeterian epistemological
instrumentalism. However, the author suggests that should be studied the relationship
between the instrumentalism and the progress of the science in Schumpeter. He
suggests that new light must be looked for regarding the theme in the Austrian
economist's posterior works in history of the economic science. This article will try to
advance the border of the knowledge (in History of the Economic Thought and
Methodology) in this sense, that is, seeking explanations on the nature of the progress of
economics for Schumpeter. In first place, I will approach the schumpeterian distinction
between vision and analysis and the negative role of the ideology inside of the science
and of its progress. Later on, I will analyze the first part of History of the Economic
Analysis. Basically I am going to indicate the strong influence of Mach on Schumpeter's
notion of progress of economics.
