Applying mathematical models to human action is interesting, no doubt, but we are a long way off from anything approaching a hard science when it comes to economics. I'm certainly no economist, but economics in general seems to be more of a sociological problem than a mathematical one. I'm happy that there are two sides to the coin. I've delved into Keynes's General Theory a bit, and witness on a daily basis how that approach is fouled by the actions of humans.
