Abstract

The article examines the current mismatch between the scientific training of economists and the accelerated transformation of their object, both in its socio-economic dimension and in its natural dimension. Oriented towards the ecological theme, the discussion presents the main traditions of economic thought dedicated to it, pointing out how the limitations and possibilities of each one reflect imperatives and impossibilities of the object of investigation to which they are dedicated. This provides a key to understanding some decisive training deficits that populate the current training of economists.
