Abstract

This article outlines a historical (re)construction of the domestic and/or family budget using bibliographic review, searching for connections between the daily media expressions and the percep- tion of low-income women about their daily budget. The first evi- dences question the naturalized rational and prescriptive vision of the budget built by economists and Research Institutes turning it into a statistical device to measure poverty and consumption power but, the social mechanisms that support it in daily life are not taken into account. This article emphasizes the importance of approaching the daily budget as an economic sociological object for the understanding of contemporary societies.
