Abstract

This article explores possible ways in which economic history may evolve in the foreseeable future. The author starts with a review of the evolution of the discipline in past decades, with especial attention to the influx of the cliometric revolution, and contends that the economic history is presently passing through a critical situation. To overcome it, the author makes a plea for increasing attention towards economic and institutional change, seen as topics distinctive of the long run, and for a rapprochement to development economics, growth economics, neo-institutional economics, firm theory and economics of technical change.

Resumen

Este artículo explora posibles vías de evolución de la historia económica en un futuro próximo. El autor pasa revista a la trayectoria de la disciplina durante las últimas décadas, con especial atención a la influencia de la revolución cliométrica, y argumenta que la historia económica pasa actualmente por una situación crítica. Para salir de ella, aboga por una mayor atención al cambio tecnológico y al cambio institucional, como temas distintivos del largo plazo, estrechando la cooperación con la economía del desarrollo, la economía del crecimiento, la economía neoinstitucional, la economía de la empresa y la economía del cambio tecnológico.
