Mixed economy and State jurisdiction: towards a theory of State intervention in the Economy

This paper presents a discussion of the State intervention in the economy, registering the present conceptions of economic thoughts. The view of the role of the State in the different economic doctrines: the classic doctrine, the Marxist doctrine, the Keynesian doctrine, the structuralism of CEPAL (Economic Mission to Latin American) doctrine, and the liberal monetarist doctrine is discussed. Then, he concludes that the contemporary crisis claims the appearance of a new paradigm that will have to develop itself through neo-structuralism, post-Keynesianism, and economic policy synthesis, in order to constitute a true scientific revolution.
