In spite of strong criticisms of Becker, the author considers his work to be meritorious insofar as it contributes to showing, in a passive form, the excessive 'padding' that is hidden behind the trivialities or the darkness --which is not profundity but rather vacuity-- of certain social literature.En este artículo, se comenta el uso del instrumental microeconómico en campos que antes era corto exclusivo de las demás ciencias sociales y sus concecuencias para el quehacer teórico en la actualidad. Se detiene especialmente en la Teoría de la Familia Becker, quien ha sido acusado de ser el principal responsable del 'imperialismo económico', es decir, de aplicar la óptica del individuo calculador y egosita --homo economicus-- al estudio de procesos sociales que solían explicar mediante la historia o las instituciones. A pesar de sus fuertes críticas al trabajo de Becker, el autor considera que su trabajo es meritorio en tanto contribuye a mostrar, en forma pasiva, el exceso de 'paja' que se oculta detrás de las trivialidades o de la oscuridad --que no es profunda sino vacuidad-- de cierta literatura social.application/pdfspaFacultad de Ciencias Economicas - Universidad Nacional de Colombiahttp://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/ceconomia/article/view/12609Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Cuadernos de EconomíaCuadernos de EconomíaCuadernos de Economía; Vol. 16, núm. 27 (1997); 187-198 2248-4337 0121-4772Ovejero Lucas, Félix (1997) The empire of economics.

| description |
This article comments on the use of microeconomic instruments in fields that once were the exclusive preserve of the other social sciences, and its consequences for current theoretical activities. It looks particularly at the Theory of the Family by Becker, who has been accused of being the person most responsible for 'economic imperialism', that is, for applying the view of the calculating and selfish individual --homo economicus-- to the study of social processes that had usually been explained by means of history or institutions. In spite of strong criticisms of Becker, the author considers his work to be meritorious insofar as it contributes to showing, in a passive form, the excessive 'padding' that is hidden behind the trivialities or the darkness --which is not profundity but rather vacuity-- of certain social literature. |
