A question I'm trying to figure out is why people don't think of economics in definable and objective terms.Originally Posted by BananaStand
I think the answer may have to do with economics being essentially a moral philosophy. Economics says things like this: because the math shows this and behavior shows that, we should implement thus policy. Once the *should* comes in, people probably disregard everything outside of feeling and ideals.
Maybe then the question is how to influence people to give credence to economics philosophy. I don't have an answer to that.
