The Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics is a forum in which those who wish to expand the boundaries of economic science are invited to contribute research that seek out the hidden assumptions that determine the economist’s current world view. The explosion of information and research that has taken place in the recent years has had a profound effect upon a variety of existing academic disciplin
es giving rise to the dissolution of barriers between some, mergers between others, and the creation of entirely new fields of enquiry. The social sciences have not been immune to the effects of this transformation, but a great deal of relevant information that has been discovered in related fields of study that include inter alia sociology, psychology, history and anthropology, is yet to be fully incorporated into the central body of economic doctrines taught in colleges and universities. Economics, as a result, has immense scope to benefit from the exciting developments that have occurred in these related fields as also from those occurring in the physical sciences, philosophy, technology and mathematics. The Journal of Interdisciplinary Economics is a forum in which those who wish to expand the boundaries of economic science are invited to contribute research that seek out the hidden assumptions that determine the economist’s current world view, relax them and so evolve a new discipline more appropriate to the contemporary global environment, thereby enabling economists to tackle problems that have been created within that environment. Papers and comments are particularly welcome from academicians and practitioners on topics that focus from an interdisciplinary perspective, on neglected boundary areas, hidden assumptions, and axioms in economics that may not be self-evident.
