Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to recapitulate the content of the book. The main message intended here is that in our times we need a philosophical reflection on economics. This reflection will lead to a reinsertion of theoretical and practical reason in economics. This is the way to build an economic rationale centered in the human being.

Instead, Robbins (1971, p. 150) viewed this priority the other way round: “I adopted the habit of designating such interests by the old-fashioned term Political Economy to make clear their dependence on judgments of value and distinguish them from pure science. Thus I announced my Economic Planning and International Order as essentially an essay in what may be called Political Economy, as distinct from Economics in the strict sense of word.”.
