This paper is a review of the notions of value in economics and anthropology. In this review, the greater difficulty has been, indeed, the historical separation between disciplines that frequently have developed their theoretical conceptualizations about economic fact separately, while the cooperation attempts have had to overcome important methodological and formal differences. However, the analysis of the main anthropological and economic contributions has shown the necessity to re-examine the foundations about value and to reflect on the use of this concept.

Este artículo revisa la concepción del valor en economía y antropología. Muestra que entre estas disciplinas ha habido un distanciamiento debido a diferencias metodológicas y al tema de estudio, sobre todo cuando los hechos económicos se estudian desde el punto de vista puramente individual y se omite el marco cultural e institucional. En los últimos años ha habido una reconciliación a través del pensamiento institucionalista, que se nutre de otras ciencias sociales, da mayor realismo a los modelos económicos y hace posible interpretar mejor la complejidad del mundo económico.
