>You will probably find that the "boring" parts of Economics like education, food and transport to be relatively level-headed. My advice for anyone interested in any Economic theory is to ask of any claim 1) Who are the stakeholders, who stands to gain? 2) How easily is the claim falsifiable?
And of course always remember the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. Yea, I think that is good advice. I would just say those fields you listed are good, but maybe not best examples: something like Management Science/Applied Maths has a lot of useful, yet very boring, techniques for business, such as linear optimization. Education, food and even transport also has politics. The economic "science" circling around the Fed is one day going to be seen as more egregious offense than the Nobel Prize given for the lobotomy procedure. |
