Honestly, I would say economics is not a science at all. Certainly not by the definition of science you’ve been telling me about. It’s far more comparable to, say, astrology than astronomy. But then there’s very smart guys like Martin Rezny who make a strong case for astrology being a whole lot more than hokum:

None of this is cut and dried. The science world-story, the most generic version anyway, tells believers that the world is neatly divided between things that exist and things that don’t exist, that things are black or they are white, things always work or they never work, that only what can be measured is real. I understand how looking at the world through that lens might bring comfort and offer believers a sense of being in control. My personal experience, though, tells me that story isn’t true.
