Abstract
Economics carries a complex, due to its fuzzy knowledge, because the differences among the economic schools. In the middle of the 20th century, an attempt was made to close falsely with the Neoclassical Synthesis, imposing a mainstream version of applied and econometric style. This did not solve the problem of knowledge, but rather aggravated it with the paradox of recurrent seizures and autistic tendency. The aforementioned problem is diagnosed here, taking into account the four ontological categories of economic knowledge, in addition to predicting the risks and challenges that await the emerging program of knowledge and complexity Economy.
