Comment on We won’t fix inflation while economists stay in denial about its causes
vividspecter@lemm.ee 1 year agoEconomics is a science is a oxymoron because Economics relies on irrational people being rational.
That last statement is one view of one theory (that happens to be the predominant one), it’s not like this a fundamental tenet of economics.
But you might like behavioural economics and doughnut economics as alternative views that don’t hold the individual as rational actors.

Exactly. There is science-based economics and there's also pseudoscience economics. They exist next to each other. It's a similar situation as in medicine.
