I think in some sense you can split economics as a field. There's the part that deals with mostly mathematical rules - these are things like the supply and demand curve and what they imply on a system. Then you have the part that seems to study human behavior and tries to somehow quantify it. And last, you have what I'd call politics (political activism?), where it's about trying to justify certain political decisions. Sadly, these are all mixed together.
