And Hayek's spontaneous order theory in particular helps us to understand at a structural level a large number of social network processes. The key is to tease out the details, understanding first each social order on its own terms, then seeing how they interact with each other. It is a huge project, but it has to be done.Troy Camplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515578686042143845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071098089153600904.post-46481927704078697552011-04-07T16:06:54.011-04:002011-04-07T16:06:54.011-04:00I think you've importantly pointed out the imp...I think you've importantly pointed out the importance of interdisciplinary approaches here. I think it is a big problem that most people do not approach their field with an interdisciplinary perspective, and that this kind of perspective could benefit people in every field. Especially in the humanities and social sciences, aren't we all looking at different manifestations of essentially the same question? If this is true, then it seems natural to me that we would all feed off of each other's research. I guess this could be seen as the merit of Austrian economics; it took a step back from its particular focus and took into account the fundamental question all the humanities are asking: How does culture and society emerge, function, and maintain itself?Gabrielle Shinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828330139052637300noreply@blogger.com
