Economics is a social science, and is widely acknowledged as such. Economic theories are not falsiable, but neither are climatology theories, and no one would claim climatology is not a science. Soft sciences are distinguished from hard sciences for not being subject to controlled experimentation, which can derive something approaching scientific proof, pedantry notwithstanding. What's motivating the 'economics is not a science' narrative here is the same thing that motivates attempts by anti-vaxxers to discredit Medicine and Epidiomology: their beliefs are being contradicted by the experts in the field. Sorry I don't have the time to respond in more detail to your comment. I just wanted to quickly make that point.
