The reasons include not sufficiently communicating the whole story about the free trade (FT) principle, about the distribution of the costs and benefits among the actors, and the compensatory measures required. Finally, the over-mathematisation of economics has rendered certain issues (like inequality) of secondary relevance. A. Smith's "invisible hand" maxim has generally been misinterpreted. Arguments are made for the return to more political economy, a multidisciplinary approach, to help overcome the wrongdoings of the past, calling for more out-of-the-box thinking and a rethinking of theories; not least, to improve scholars' ability to communicate their ideas in simple understandable languageNa osnovi analize raziskav ter poučevanja, največ mednarodne ekonomike in poslovanja, članek ugotavlja, da so akademiki sokrivi za upor zoper globalizacijo in krepitev populizma. To je zato, ker so preveč poudarjali prednosti svobodne mednarodne menjave in pogosto napačno interpretirali "nevidno roko" A. Smitha ter podcenili stroške svobodne trgovine in nujnost kompenziranja tistih, ki z mednarodno menjavo zgubljajo s pomočjo politike redistribucije in drugimi ukrepi, ker je sam njen domet omejen. S pretiranim matematiziranjem se je podcenilo pomen raziskovanja najbolj žgočih in relevantnih problemov. Članek dokazuje potrebo po povratku k političnoekonomskem interdisciplinarnem pristopu, da bi se presegle pretekle pomanjkljivosti, in izboljšanju komuniciranja teorij javnosti in študentomTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede
