| Description: | The aim of this article is to trace the theoretical itinerary that, between the 1950s and the 1970s, made it possible to recompose neoclassical economic theory, giving rise to a counteroffensive that managed to displace the orthodoxy of Keynesianism from the neoclassical synthesis, dominant during the thirty years after the Second World War, to establish a new orthodoxy: that of a revived neoclassicism. The process matured gradually, over approximately twenty years, giving rise to a sophisticated theoretical apparatus, and endowed with extensive mathematical formalization. This paper seeks to synthesize this process and knot the different threads that shape a theoretical structure that emerged dominant in the 1980s, and continues in that position to the present day, although without ceasing to undergo some rearrangements of some significance. To understand the ideological and political hegemony of neoliberalism, it is essential to understand this theoretical framework: from there emerge essential elements of its political and ideological project, and therein lies its most powerful justification. |
