Neglected Links and the Idea of an Inner Bond of Different Academic Domains

Neglected links are the inner bonds and lines that keep the spheres of society and economy together and that are interconnected although they are very often treated and discussed separately in different discourses. Contemporary discussion has forgotten to think universally and to integrate items into one common field of observation. Instead, too often, particular items are studied and discussed as being independent of each other without acknowledging a broader context. Economics has lost history but also links to sociology and psychology with which it was originally closely connected at the beginning of the twentieth century. Much of the discussion in the twentieth century became rather silent with regard to forging and maintaining links between different academic domains. The explicit acknowledgment and pointing out of links between individual academic domains and their subjects has been ignored. Taking topics such as social and economic inequality research, limits of rationality, and orthodoxies and heterodoxies of economic research, as well as a discussion of the heroes of interdisciplinary thought, we always may demonstrate well on how to treat reciprocal links and how to work in an interdisciplinary way, which tackles history, sociology, and economics at the very least. It seems sterile to study and discuss particular items without acknowledging the existence of a broader context.
