Imperialismo de la economía
En la economía imperial[1] y contemporánea se hace referencia al análisis económico de aspectos aparentemente no económicos de la vida,[2] como el delito,[3] el derecho,[4] la familia,[5] el prejuicio,[6] gustos,[7] comportamiento irracional,[8] política,[9] sociología,[10] cultura,[11] religión,[12] guerra,[13] ciencia,[14] e investigación.[14] El uso del término proviene de décadas recientes.[15]
La aparición de tal análisis ha sido atribuida a un método que, como el de las ciencias físicas, permite implicaciones refutables[16] comprobables por técnicas estadísticas estándar.[17] Central a tal método se sitúan "los postulados combinados del comportamiento maximizador, preferencias estables y el equilibrio del mercado, aplicado resuelta e implacablemente."[18] Se ha dicho que estos postulados y un enfoque en la eficiencia económica han sido ignorados en otras ciencias sociales y han "dejado que la economía invada territorio intelectual que previamente se consideraba fuera de su campo"[17][19]

- This was not a new phrase, having been used by Souter already in the 1930s: "The salvation of Economic Science in the twentieth century lies in an enlightened and democratic 'economic imperialism', which invades the territories of its neighbors, not to enslave them or to swallow them up, but to aid and enrich them and promote their autonomous growth in the very process of aiding and enriching itself" [per Ralph William Souter, 1933.
