- BLKNSLVR 4y agoEconomics is the go-to for conservative, status-quo maintaining arguments because there's a wealth of statistics and information available for "how things have always been", and precious little-to-none for "how things could be if..." It's easier to poke holes in predictions of the future than in interpretations of the past, especially when the people making those decisions have likely reached their decision-making status through "how things have always been".
