"ECONOMICS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE AND THEIR RELATIONS TO PHILOSOPHY
One of the huge problems for economics, as a scientific discipline, and as a social science discipline, is that its subject matter, its objects of study, and its methodology, has omitted, in the processes, of academic specialization, so many dimensions of reality.
This has not been a failing specific to economics....
One can go down a list of failed disciplines which segregated a chunk of reality for a subject matter, and then applied a truncated methodology to it.
Each discipline quickly became vested in the veracity of its account, its methodology, and its turf."
One can go through every specialized so called exact scientific, and frankly all inexact social scientific, disciplines and find the same anomalies of reasoning, methodology, and fragmentation of reality by subject matter.
Psychology, a byword, historically, in this regard...;sociology, more or less the same; political science, ditto; it had made more sense as political economy, something like that, wider field of investigation and insight; history, similarly fragmented and adrift.
