A little beyond Thomas Kuhn From the history of economic thought to the history of economic science

ABSTRACT

This article suggests a revitalization of the History of Economic Thought by the adoption of new methods from the modem study of sciences. It shows the new horizons open by this approach, which has its origins in the Kuhn’s classical work. It ends giving as an example a case study based on the actor-network theory.
