- Natsu 10y agoI find it interesting because one could argue that you should be able to apply a sort of success filter to either discipline to see who is skilled at what they do. For example: How many rich economists are there? How many influential sociologists are there?
- dredmorbius 10y agoThere's some indirect references, but yes, a good point: that's a pretty glaring lack. The comments about the social interactions of what are perceived as economic transactions or phenmomena strongly suggests a few differences. The social dislocations caused by job loss, or housing eviction, are specifically mentioned. I'd see far more weight and consideration given both in policy.
