JEL Classification: D01; B31; B52.Este artigo discute a concepção de racionalidade de Herbert A. Simon em duas de suas principais definições gerais: racionalidade limitada e racionalidade processual. Argumenta que o último é o que melhor sintetiza a visão do autor sobre o comportamento racional e que o primeiro preenche principalmente uma função crítica. Eles são usados ??complementarmente por Simon nesse sentido. Apesar disso, argumenta-se que o baixo grau de especificidade do conceito de racionalidade limitada é uma das razões para seu sucesso relativamente maior.
