AB  - Economics, as one of the cultural and historical sciences, is
responsible for the investigation of the meaningful relation between the
whole and the parts, based on organic linking and not on the
mechanical‐causal relationship. The relevant contributions of the
leading holistic school of thought – universalism – is thus
described, focusing on the fundamental concepts and methods of
understanding and on their possible application in economics. The
article aims to aid present methodologists of economics and other social
sciences, disenchanted with the individualistic and disjointed
approaches of their respective disciplines, in building up a body of
integrated theory and in suggesting new areas of research.
