No idea why you're being downvoted/flagged on this one. The real answer is that the one who provides basic services is far more easily replaced than the economist. Economics does have a fair amount of fortune telling. I believe the entire field of technical analysis is bunk and really is "fortune telling" but I think that economists have a lot of value to add outside of fortune telling BS.
