Abstract

The present work tries to show how the differential geometry and the dynamic systems allow to understand, explain and advance in the study of relevant economic problems. We try to convince the reader that a formally developed theory may not be very far from the most immediate practice and that, on the other hand, the problems that everyday reality poses to us can be an excellent pretext to devote ourselves to the most abstract theory. The article is intended for a wide audience, particularly those interested in Economic Theory and particularly in Mathematical Economics. However, we hope that mathematicians and economists from different areas will find in it an incentive for future studies on the subject. We hope that the declared objective is not far from the results achieved.
