Currie, Lauchlin, " The Teaching of Economics (II), the Economy in a Developing Country", Cuadernos de Economía, vol. XIII, Nubers 18-19, Bogotá, 1993, pp. 345-354. The four abstracts selected in this section compile currie's reflections on the nature of economics, the organization for the teaching of economics in Colombia, the economics that should be taught, and how economics should be taught. In them, the author refers to the nature of economics as a social science, to the disadvantages of specializations, and to its differentiation with business administration. Currie criticizes the prevailing tendency to combine in the same faculties the schools of economics and of business administration. He points out that the formation of an economist and of a policy planner should be clearly differentiated. Finally, he reaffirms his opposition to a very specialized and mathematized formation insisting all the need for the economist to receive general courses before receiving his professional formation. In this way, it is guaranteed that he will aquire, from the beginning of his formation, a more ample vision of economic phenomena.
