Resumo(s)
Aiming at a definition of the discipline, Paul Samuelson included in the first pages of Economics a brief consideration of "What Economics is" This happened in 15 of the 19 editions of his epoch-making textbook, from the 5 edition in 1961 all the way to the last in 2010. The section included, not only a phrase suggested as definition, but also a previous list of alternative characterizations. Although dealing with a basic and foundational issue, the text was repeatedly revised, with continuous adjustments, throughout the several editions, targeting perfection. By considering them it is possible to follow the evolving thought of the great economist on the thorny issue of depicting the elementary nature of the economic science, and thus understand it a bit better.
