ABSTRACT

The interdisciplinary approach is both the cause and the result of the synergy that develops between the various branches of Science. Economics lends and borrows tools and methods of analytical approach from other sciences in order to complete its contribution to knowledge. Thus the main economic problem related to the unlimited needs of the people and the limited means that exist to meet these needs begins with the theological teaching of the Old Testament and the expulsion of the protoplasts from the Garden of Eden. Adam Smith’s “Invisible Hand” leading the economy to the optimum level of prosperity is another presentation of the “Invisible Hand” of Divine Providence, as it appears in the works of Thomas Aquinas. In this and in other cases the finding of interdisciplinary analogies leads the researcher to the holistic approach of the knowledge and science of Economics but also of the operation of the society.
