This post is a good example of the kind of arrogance you find on this site- it's fittingly the top post as of right now. Yes, economics is not a "hard science" and that's OK. Neither are plenty of other respectable fields such as history, sociology, etc. It's disingenuous and arrogant to proclaim that any field that is not a hard science is akin to reading tea leaves.
