I've read a bit too much criticism of economy as a science using the same argument you see from creationists against palaeontology. (That is, assumptions that all researchers are idiots and/or in a conspiracy against the creationists/left wing extremists.)
- nazgulnarsil 17y agowell pure paleontology is abduction is a sense. but the thing about paleontology is that it is based on biology in which we can do experiments.
- berntb 17y agoEconomy is arguably based on cognitive psychology and game theory. (A bit less strictly, but it should even out with all the lacking environmental parameters in paleontology...)
