Management, Economics, Politics and Society

This text deals with essays and analyses on reflections on economics, politics, management, administration, state, among other topics. In general terms, the theory attributes to politics and its problems a fundamentally instrumental nature. The problems of politics are identified with the problem of choosing the appropriate means to achieve substantive ends, whose character is economic or social. This instrumentalist conception of politics is endorsed by the prestige and respectability of authors of the stature of Max Weber, and this makes it particularly difficult to criticize. These features hinder the solution of the fundamental political question facing our countries, and are contradictory to their socioeconomic realities. It is proposed to explore an alternative model, which defines politics from its deliberative and plural dimension.
