ONE Social Science

Isn’t it strange that we have specialists in separate social sciences without generalists. 

Would that work in health care?  Imagine doctors specializing in hearts, others in lungs, others in skeletons, but none of them ever learning about how hearts, lungs, and skeletons work as a system?  That is the situation we have today with anthropologists, economists, historians, political scientists, and historians.

Weaving Golden Threads integrates these specialists into a coherent system of relationships.
