I'm not sure. Economics draws a lot of fire because it is more quantitative. Things that are measured are easier to track when something changes. The more qualitative social sciences advocate for their policies using critiques of mores expressed in natural language, and this triggers behavioral change in a more subtle way. There is less of a "paper trail" to look back on, so it's hard to know how much something changed and how fast, or what caused the change. Academically it would be very interesting to quantify the "memetic rate of change" triggered by introducing an argument into a population.
