¿Es la economía un sistema complejo en eterno desequilibrio?

Abstract: This article presents a general discussion of some of the reasons for believing that an economy would be better framed in the theory of complex (organic) systems than in the theory of mechanical systems of the dominant neoclassical school. Complex systems are characterized here by heterogeneous units that interact with each other, with non-linear trajectories, positive feedbacks, co-creation of regularities, non-ergodicity of the system and constant evolution. Financial and urban systems are analyzed as examples of economic problems that present these characteristics.
