HERNANDEZ-CHULIA, Sagar. Talcott Parsons and the keynesian economists on the concepts of individual agent, organizations and institutions. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2020, n.39, pp.113-133. ISSN 1657-6357.  https://doi.org/10.25100/sye.v0i39.8565.

With this research, we intend to apply the comparative method to the theoretical contributions that, around the concepts of individual agent, organizations and institutions, are carried out both by the main keynesian economists and by Talcott Parsons. In view of the results, we conclude that, although Parsons shares the characterization of the individual agents developed by Keynes and the post-keynesians authors, he also uses formal models, such as the new-keynesians do. In addition, in the inter-organizational area, he legitimizes the role that the State can play in the economy, and highlights, like the post-keynesians, the positive role that unions can develop. Finally, Parsons also coincides with post-keynesian economists, and especially with Kaldor, when he understands institutions as general and natural phenomena that may present a low degree of conflict..
