Theoretical and Applied Economics
No. 3 / 2011 (556)
The Cognitive Isolationism
„The absence of a global theoretical vision, as a necessary referential for insuring the coherence of specialized cognitive initiatives, translates into incoherence in the actional plane; this though, is much more: it is a cumulative counter-performance which produces the critical mass necessary for a social explosion.”
The confused conceptual state of Economics is also the result of the constraint-creating division of visions, as an expression of postmodern cognitive specialization. Practically, the communication of methods and the transfer of meanings between the compartments of Economics are proven to be broken, or at least lacking.
