Abstract

Using as a starting point the current scientific production fonts in Psychology, Anthropology and Economy, the principal point for this paper is the analysis of besides streams for contemporary Social Sciences. Sciences those more and more are less qualitative and more parametric in their forms, more and more are less comprehensive and less explicative in their contents and less scientific and more ideologica lin their fundamentals in order to justify the dominance of Market Economy. In frontof that, the Social Economy, identify with a humanistic and alternative project based in the reciprocity laws and logics, find serious difficulties to be recognized in the academicarena, as least from the orthodoxy that rejects its scientific status. This institutionalrejection put Social Economy in the peripherals, in a situation of inequalityand non- defense towards the current econocentrism stream placed in the core of Social Sciences.
