Re my comment, I should add, that multidisciplinarianism unfortunately has long been practically impossible, as disciplinary compartmentalism has unfolded over the centuries.
Still, the urgency of a multidisciplinary approach has long been acute.
As the social sciences rolled out, efforts were made to connect politics and economics, thus ' political economy ', among other things. Unfortunately, this particular ' field ' was stigmatized as leftist, when little inherently lead to that interpretation except perhaps Smithianism itself.
Into the 20th century, these efforts, even, gradually fell away.
See eg Gilpin's The Political Economy of International Relations, one of the later efforts in that direction.
Randall Collins, The Sociology of Philosophies, another worthwhile effort.
