Summary/Abstract: Drawing on episodes from the historical development of the relationship between economics and sociology, and using assessments of the current state of the two disciplines, the report identifies politically motivated interventions in their interaction. The interventions began with the introduction of a boundary between the two disciplines in the first half of the 20th century and continued to maintain the boundary to this day. The consequences for the two disciplines of their continued separation and the mechanisms of influence through which it is maintained are discussed.
