Summary:A description is given of a research program on the incomplete nature of scientificknowledge and extended to analyze the minimum curriculum for economics in Brazil andthe consequent for mutation of proposals for change. Considering the different levels of abstractionin the pure science, applied science and the art of science trichotomy, it is observedthat the minimum curriculum prescribes suitable training for social or applied economics.The conclusion is that a further period of two years is recommended, one to strengthen pureeconomics in the basic cycle and the other for the art of economics in the phase meant forprofessionalized training. Consideration is also given to specialization in pure economicsexclusively directed at teaching and research. JEL Classification: A22; B41.
