Economics is pseudo-science. I refuse to recognize a man made construct as a valid scientific field. I used to argue with my BBA room-mate, I asserted markets were fixed, he would try to counter with law of demand. HA! Libor scandal, crude prices, utility price fixing honestly I could go on for days.

- kazagistar 11y agoComputer Science isn't even a science most of the time.
- AlphaSite 11y agoCS is an intersection of arts, science, engineering and maths. The algorithms and data structures are the maths and science side, HCI is the arts/social sciences portion and of course applications, teams management etc are more where it intersects with engineering. HCI is a less grounded than the maths portions which are as much a science as any part of maths is. But still have a grounding. The engineering side is probably a lot more wishy-washy and concerned with anecdotes than empirical evidence. That's my opinion as a generalisation.
- kazagistar 11y agoBehavioral Biology is a science, pretty sure about that one. Sociology is a study of the behavior of a particular animal, humans. Economics is a study of a particular type of human behavior. Economics is just a very specialized science.
- aeneasreid 11y agoYou should read more economics instead of just assuming it is what assholes and BBAs do. Al Roth's work on making kidney exchanges function well for example. Economics is a big field. You probably just disagree with the intro classes which admittedly are dumbed way down to "supply and demand"
