description This paper discusses the importance of critical pluralism, responsibility, primun non nocere and caution principles, in a scheme of ethical reflection of economics as a science and as a technique. For this purpose, an institutional analysis of policies, standards and guidelines is carried out in a sample of 10 countries: 8 from Latin America, along with the United States, and England. The main result indicates that the current institutional regime, both legislative and ethical, does not solve the tension generated by private interest and public interest in the professional performance of an economist in a market economy. It is necessary to incorporate a flexible articulation that facilitates a simple and concrete interpretation that guides the improvement of the quality of the private and public service that an economist plays.

This paper discusses the importance of critical pluralism, responsibility, primun non nocere and caution principles, in a scheme of ethical reflection of economics as a science and as a technique. For this purpose, an institutional analysis of policies, standards and guidelines is carried out in a sample of 10 countries: 8 from Latin America, along with the United States, and England. The main result indicates that the current institutional regime, both legislative and ethical, does not solve the tension generated by private interest and public interest in the professional performance of an economist in a market economy. It is necessary to incorporate a flexible articulation that facilitates a simple and concrete interpretation that guides the improvement of the quality of the private and public service that an economist plays. El presente documento discute la importancia de los principios de pluralismo crítico, responsabilidad, primun non nocere y precaución, en un esquema de reflexión ética de la economía como ciencia y como técnica. Para tal efecto se realiza un análisis institucional de políticas, normas y directrices en una muestra de diez países: ocho de Latinoamérica, más Estados Unidos e Inglaterra.  El principal resultado indica que el actual régimen institucional tanto legislativo como ético no soluciona la tensión que genera el interés privado y el interés público en el desempeño profesional de un economista en una economía de mercado. Es necesario incorporar una articulación flexible que facilite una interpretación sencilla y concreta que oriente al mejoramiento de la calidad del servicio privado y público que desempeña un economista.
