El problema de la práctica teórica en la producción histórica marxista.

Stagnation in the study of any discipline is a subject of importance, this article reflects on it from a Marxist approach to historiography and political economy. It argues that following conventional historical models to analyze specific regions such as Latin America may constitute a bias in such studies. The author questions what is the historian's role in understanding a given social, political, and economic context. He explains why the pathways to knowledge are obstructed if one starts from the classics and how is it that research seems immobilized if there are now more tools for intellectual progress.
