Abstract
En este artículo destacamos la influencia profunda y duradera de Pareto en el análisis económico moderno. Ponemos el énfasis en su teoría del valor, basada en la utilidad. Este autor, en torno a 1900, inicia el giro hacia una teoría de la utilidad ordinal y objetiva. El principal objetivo de nuestro trabajo consiste en trazar el hilo conductor de ideas económicas que consideramos muy relevantes: desde Pareto hasta la economía ortodoxa actual; y desde Bentham hasta la vuelta a la felicidad como objeto de estudio de la ciencia económica, principalmente en el siglo XXI. Así, podemos afirmar que la influencia de Pareto ha perdurado, por lo menos, todo el siglo XX, retrasando bastante el resurgimiento de la economía de la felicidad. Por último, planteamos que sería muy fructífero que esta disciplina y la teoría recibida se complementaran
In this essay we intend to highlight the profound and enduring influence of Pareto upon modern economic analysis, focusing on the emphasis of his utility-based theory of value. In this sense, around 1900, the author began the change toward an ordinal and objective theory of utility. The main goal of this work is to portray the common link of economic ideas that we consider highly relevant: from Pareto to current orthodox economics; and from Bentham to the return of happiness as an object of study in economic science, mostly during the 21st century. Therefore, we can state that Pareto’s influence has lasted at least all throughout the 20th century, delaying considerably the resurgence of happiness economics. Finally, we suggest that it would be very profitable if this discipline and the received theory could complement each other
