For several decades, contemporary social theory has held a considerable misunderstanding around phenomenologicallyoriented sociology, which has undermined its heuristic potential and, as a consequence,has pushed its conclusions to a marginal place in current discussions. In contrast, our article aims torecover that hermeneutical framework in order to think economic phenomena such as the economic actionand the order of the market processes. It is undeniable that Alfred Schutz´s work provides theoretical andmethodological elements for the sociological analysis of the economic world. The linkages between Schutzian sociology and economic reflection vary widely, ranging from his formative stage within the contextof the Mises Circle to the current recovery of his work by Economic Sociology. Within this framework,the aim of this work is to summarize Schutz´s main contributions to the field of economic reflection.The recovery and systematization of the Schutzian vocabulary -in the interface between sociology and economics- can contribute with new elements not only to think from a theoretical point of view but also to address economic phenomena empirically.SocietàMutamentoPolitica, Rivista Italiana di Sociologia (ISSN Online 2038-3150)Indizada en: ERIH PLUS, BASE, EBSCO, DOAJ, Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), entre otras.MIAR 2021: ICDS 7.5
