The problem with economics as a science is that testing some theories can be very expensive.

    I've always viewed economics as a pseudo-science.

    There might be some ways to apply the scientific method to economic systems, but even if so it would be a soft science at best.

    But that's not even what's happening in conventional economic theory, and they try to treat it like a hard science.
