| Mar 27, 2011 at 8:52 | comment | added | Paul | I would grant that in some cases, knowledge of economic modelling can help make some kinds of subjective questions more objective. But isn't the same true of physics (What is a sunrise?) or chemistry (Why is the sky blue and grass green?)? | |
| Mar 27, 2011 at 8:50 | comment | added | Paul | "Isn't economics the very science of giving objective answers to subjective questions?" No. Economics has particular subject matter. It can give objective answers to objective questions. If you go to an accredited graduate school of economics, you will be exposed to quantitative disciplines such as mathematical game theory, statistics, mathematical models of production and consumption, etc. There is even a human subject lab component. It is not some kind of pseudoscience. | |
