Abstract

En este artículo, se comenta el uso del instrumental microeconómico en campos que antes era coto exclusivo de las demás ciencias sociales y sus consecuencias 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 egoísta --el homo oeconomicus-- al estudio de procesos sociales que se solían explicar mediante la historia o las instituciones. A pesar de sus fuertes críticas al trabajo de Becker, el autor considera que el exceso de "paja" que se oculta detrás de las trivialidades o de la oscuridad --que no es profundidad sino vacuidad-- de cierta literatura social.
