Social network analysis prevents isolating ideas from political and business links

Evidence

Transnational historical social network analysis of individuals, organizations, and ideas can serve as a prophylactic against thinking of ideas in splendid isolation, divorcing them from linkages to politics and business (as Plickert 2008 does unconvincingly, and Burgin 2012 does intermittently). — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 10
