Manuel Ancízar and the teaching of political economy

Abstract

This paper analyzes the contribution of Manuel Ancízar to the teaching of Political Economy. The reference is the program of the course that he taught at the National University of Colombia, in 1873. This program allows identifying theoretical influences and topics of interest related to the republican project of Ancízar. He tried to promote that program, as a great promoter of social networks, disseminator of ideas, public official, politician and teacher. With this paper, there is an attempt to identify his theoretical influences and the problems to which he attached the greatest importance, through the program, the textbooks he used and the dissertations of his students.
