| Summary: | The present turning point, accentuated by the crisis, has revitalized the
interdisciplinary study of economics and determined the reconsideration of its
fundamental bases as a social science. The economists have abandoned the traditional
neoclassical sphere and have directed towards understanding the behaviour resorting to

realistic database for analysis, taking into account the complexity of the human factor. |
