Kant’s theory represents an attempt to define and ascertain the overriding principle of morality. It seeks to contextualize the situations under which people make ethical decisions, asserting that it is the main way through which to elucidate the uniqueness of such decisions. Kant defines a moral agent, as one bent on pursuit of moral action as an end. Despite this hypothetical underpinning, his theory has significance in the present world because by when people uphold the autonomy of moral conduct, it would provide a starting point for attainment of positive outcomes, considering that all actions ultimately lead to particular ends.

There are different ways through which the economy is analyzed. One of the scopes of analysis that has distinguished itself from the other assessment techniques is assessment through analysis of the roles, responsibilities, and input of women within the economy. Analyzing the economy has been found to be effective through assessment of the input by women within the economic setting. It is important to note that there exist considerable differences between the input by men and that of women. One of the main distinctions exists in the accessibility options. Women are presented with few accessibility options within the economic setting as compared to men. The opportunity to exert power over the various economic structures within the society is also an important element within the overall analysis. Women are faced with limited chances with regards to exerting power over the various economic structures as compared to men. A global outlook on the involvement of women in the various economies paints a very dark picture. It has been globally accepted that women in most – if not all – parts of the world are either poorly represented within the economy, or are virtually absent within the economic processes. In some of the cases, women are not only poorly represented, but also have a minimized impact with regards to the various decisions that are made within the economy. In all these it is evident to note that the various decision making processes within the economic setting are rarely affected by the input of women. Some of these decisions play an important role with regards to the foundations of the economy. Decisions concerning monetary policies, tax systems, and economic governance have been identified as being some of the areas within the economy where the input of women in least. In the few cases where women provide input in these sections of the economy, their input is hardly effective (Tastsoglou, 25).
