| Deskribapena: | This essay presents a critical analysis of the dominant approach which focuses the economy as an universal theory and standardized global science. It states that within this perspective the study of topics such as economic growth and maximization of profits can become a dogma, especially when the economy is reduced to an absolute technique, subsidiary of mathematical frameworks and politically oriented to mold social interactions and impose standardization aside from historical, cultural and organizational values of particular societies and localities. Such approach of the economy reduces and simplifies the social reality to formal quantitative and econometric models for the construction of diagnosis and prognosis, functional to the reproduction of the economic and political power relationships. Hence, many economists become expert consultants and ideologists whom justified the economic practices and prescriptions of political, entrepreneurial and multinational power. The author adopts a critical view linking the economic, political, historical and cultural interrelationships within the particular social settings where the exchange of goods and commodities takes place. Furthermore, this article suggests a propositional approach for scientific and critical interaction between the economic model and the need for a reconstruction of science. |
