Neoclásicos, androcentrismo y economía feminista: una mirada a la exclusión de la mujer como agente económico y político dentro de la disciplina económica[Neoclassics, androcentrism and feminist economy: a look at the exclusion of women as an economic and political agent within economic discipline]

This document analyzes how the Walrasian General Equilibrium Model has been in charge of practicing its androcentrism and masculinization when defining the field of economics. It examines not only an overview about the common criticisms that feminist economists have made to the axioms and assumptions of the General Equilibrium Model but also the response that the defenders of this model have given in an attempt to justify the principles of individualism, optimization and balance. The General Equilibrium Model contains pre-existing value judgments that depend on the subject in charge of the study and the context; this last factor is essential when analyzing the existing gender bias in the conception of market dynamics and when studying the masculinization that the General Equilibrium Model has been incorporating in a transcendental and imperceptible way within the economic discipline. It is concluded that feminist economics seeks a more humane and comprehensive understanding of the economy and the processes of inclusion and exclusion that develop in it.
