Editorial
The papers in this issue present interesting factual matters relating to development convergence between regions and sectors based on complex of interrelations. This approach takes the studies beyond sheer neoclassical argument and thereby can effectively explain social interaction within interdisciplinary contexts. There are equally interesting papers on the characteristics of divorce and of growing presence of women in the financial sector in the USA.
The importance of the analysis and inferences factually drawn in these papers for ethico-economics are found in the cultural and complexity dynamics of socio-economic factors that impinge on individual and household decisions. Such decisions affect equally the trends in labor movements between sectors and the peculiar nature of decisions that gender composition brings along in financial sector labor market. The important issues relating to factors that have contributed to the increase in marriage and divorce in the USA compared to historical standards is worthy of note to understand the socio-cultural and economic dynamics of such household decisions on marriage and divorce.
The project of ethico-economics deals with complexity issues crossing domains of economics, markets, society, political economy, culture, and the like. Hence ethico-economic issues are interdisciplinary studies of embedded systems. The papers in this volume bring to fruition that task.
But ethico-economic is also a serious study of deeply philosophical issues in science and society that inhere in all cultures from the analytical viewpoint. The important point in this is the normative one to discover unity of knowledge in systems of relations and also to organize the world-systems according to the epistemology of unity of knowledge. The assumption made is that this episteme is the common and binding glue of global ethics, and hence is common to all socio-scientific issues and problems. The emanation of analysis premised on the epistemology of unity of knowledge whilebeing philosophical in nature is also deeply analytical, using sophisticated mathematical analysis, study of institutionalism and facts.
Humanomics as the intellectual source airing the project of ethico-economics invites rigorously analytical articles along lines of its goals. It is a refereed scientific journal of a specialized nature because of its interdisciplinary, but narrowed down domain of epistemic inquiry in issues over-arching socio-scientific themes.
