Personally I think it's due to our reductionistic approaches, the economy is not some cold lifeless mechanical object, it's a living organism.

I like the idea of examining "relationships" rather than models, we could better quantify social elements.

No references unfortunately, just my stream of thought!

I have just started reading Marx. I believe one of the core aspects of his analysis of capitalism is exactly what you mentioned here - the economy is a living organism and to truly understand it you have to understand the relationships.

I'm still working it out, so I would very much appreciate it if someone here had more insight to confirm/deny my understanding?
