ROZO TORRES, MARCELA. EL PODER DE LOS ECONOMISTAS Y LOS ECONOMISTAS DEL PODER. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2006, vol.42, pp.277-316. ISSN 0486-6525.

THIS ARTICLE IS AN EXERCISE IN THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF POWER WITHIN A GROUP OF COLOMbian economists who held top positions in government in the last 20 years. It is divided into two sections: The first section focuses on the theoretical premises that make economics a social science with particular power. In turn, this position allows me to examine economists as distinct objects of study. The second section describes practices determining routes to power and offers a discursive analysis of interviews held with these economists. The aim of this analysis is to uncover the ideological element behind arguments used by these economists to legitimize their circle of power.

Keywords : Anthropology of power; circles of power; economists; economics.
