Abstract
In the paper entitled Repere în economia instituţională (published by the Economică publishing house, Bucharest, 2010, 336 pages), its author, the famous exponent of the school of economics of Iaşi, Professor Ion Pohoaţă, explains what unites the new institutionalists in a common paradigm. At the same time, where appropriate, he also finds what separates them. Firstly, he observes that a common paradigm may be the result either of a reaction of detachment, until the separation from a school or schools and tendencies of established and recognized thought, or of an integrative synthesis of ideas belonging to different ideational spaces, united however by a catalysing vein.
