CASTIGLIONI LOPES, Herton  y  CAMARGO CONCEICAO, Octávio Augusto. Organicism and institutionalism: The human decisions in a proposal of the relationship between the theories of Keynes and Veblen. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2021, vol.40, n.82, pp.339-360.  Epub 01-Mar-2021. ISSN 0121-4772.  https://doi.org/10.15446/cuad.econ.v40n82.82087.

The proposal of this text consists in resuming the discussion regarding the organicist methodology in Keynes and in post-Keynesian authors, proposing a theoretical link with the relation between institutions and individuals in the institutionalism derived from Veblen. Assuming the possibility of convergence, the text demonstrates the contribution of approaches to understanding human decisions, particularly associated with productive investment. From the proposal of interpreting human actions based on an organicist methodology and recognizing its institutional dependence, it is evident that the research agenda allows for the best understanding of the economic behaviour of individuals and firms.
