I love this dig specifically because you missed my point. I was simply addressing the fact that I don't think a field needs to have experimentation to have value.
> And btw, arguments generally about the function of a society are politics.
No shit.
> Because if you want to value any end...just build a model that does so.
> Economists can have a view on them but you have to use politics to demonstrate that any goal of society is better than any other.
That's exactly my point. Economists conflate their model of Western Capitalism (for better or worse) with a moral position or _necessary_ condition for society.
I know their are economists that don't do this, but none I've met or been taught by.
