So, like economics?
- vacuity 3y agoI feel like economics is glorified philosophy with historical analysis as an afterthought.
- AndrewKemendo 3y agoI finished my Econ undergrad 15 years ago and even then it was effectively applied statistics for finance plus some policy and a dash of philosophy.
- vacuity 3y agoI should've qualified that I meant "in political contexts". Although, people develop ideas of the world based on their own experiences and beliefs. People developing economic theories aren't exempt. It's especially not strange that economic models are biased because economics affects and is affected by society and politics. It would be just dandy if people were more cohesive.
