Argument is that economists knew exactly what would happen when they got linked with Nobel Prizes and help solidify economics as hard science like physics, medicine or math in eyes of the public. Begin debate around how scientific is some economics.
- croes 1y agoIs math considered a science?
- stackskipton 1y agoYes? You can form hypothesis and prove it or not.
- croes 1y agoBut science is based on empirical methods. Math isn’t empirical. You don’t do experiments in maths do gain knowledge. It’s not a natural science and not a social science so that leaves formal science but math in a requirement for formal science. Math can’t be its own requirement so it’s not a formal science either.
