Resumen

En este artículo analizaremos la cuestión de la diversidad humana y el comportamiento económico en el pensamiento de los economistas clásicos. Nos centraremos en la explicación de las diferencias en el comportamiento y los resultados económicos en el contexto del debate racial del siglo XIX. Nuestro objetivo específico será responder a dos cuestiones fundamentales: ¿sostienen los economistas clásicos la idea de la igualdad humana? ¿Hay racismo en sus análisis económicos?
