Economics and Physics: A Forgotten Discussion

No 14826, Econógrafos, Escuela de Economía from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, FCE, CID

Abstract: This paper has the objective of reviewing some of the key aspects that involve the association between physics and economics. It also invites to considerate the history behind the neoclassical model and how its physical origin is not well known. It is curious to see the close relation between these two sciences, but it is also curious how this could lead to misinterpretations and beliefs of economics being dependent on physics, which clearly is not the case.
