Regular reminder that the Nobel Prize in Economics is not an actual Nobel Prize, it was added later and funded by a Swedish bank (which took a ton of Nazi gold btw)
This is because Economics is not a real science and only deserves to receive awards alongside astrology, tarot reading, and homeopathy.
Economics are a real science. Neoliberal economics aren’t.
Economics is at worst a complete pseudoscience, at best it’s a social science on the level with sociology and anthropology, but economists like to pretend it’s comparable to physics and chemistry.

I used some formula from physics to calculate my IQ and I have an IQ of 2 million which is pretty incredible. And that’s just physics.

It is a social science. But again, you’re not making a good point. It was thanks to economists that, for example, the USSR managed to have unprecedentedly fast industrialization and growth that ultimately enabled the defeat of the Nazis. Without concepts like the Fel’dman model, or the work of Gosplan (remember, economics), none of that would have been possible.
I save my disdain for “Business studies” and MBA’s, since there are Marxist economists
economics being a social science doesnt make it less real
Economics is like the phrenology of political systems.
