I will, but keep in mind that economists are very divided on the subject - and many other subjects. I do listen to economists, but eventually I have to chose to which economist to believe in these cases, and to do that I try to asses how honest they are and if something they say in their reasoning seems flawed.

I agree with you in general. Economics is not a science. It is almost impossible to verify a theory and most Economists are simply advocating theories that confirm their personal politics/morals/values. However what is interesting about the economists I mentioned is that they have found clever ways to use real world data to “run” experiments. It is truly great work.
