Abstract:

The article goes through the works of a dozen of the founding fathers of economic science as well as current renown economists. It tries to show that the separation between economic and political analysis is not as obvious as economists often believe. It underlines that the arguments put forward by the economic literature to justify this divorce are far from convincing and sometimes contradictory.
