RESUMO

In which measure the power systems from each period of history affect the economic theory building? Answer this question is the meaning of this work. The answer is interesting. The activity of power production became very important since the European Industrial Revolution. Since then, a gap in the power supply would collapse the production of all goods, bringing chaos and death to society. Contemporaneous energy issues, on the other hand, have influenced scientists and economic writers (and their theories about how people are economically related with themselves) in many ways. The dialect relationship among technology, power and science is seen here following the main historical-scientific events, since the XVI century till now, from water wheels to photovoltaic cells. Key Words Political economic paradigms, power systems, energy, history of science, history of economic thought
