You win the prize for the most ignorant question of the week! First, a science tests and explains natural phenomena. I'll draw from all walks of life to display the good it's done for human kind: - Personal Finance: How do we know diversifying your investments gives you the optimal risk-reward in a given timeline?
- Public Policy: Why do governments prevent monopolies from forming?
- Jobs: Why do you have a specific job title instead of being a Jack of All Trades?
- (American) Football: Why do most coaches punt on fourth down, even when they shouldn't? (risk aversion)
- Population: Why has the birth rate been declining? Second, your analogies make little sense. The architect doesn't build the house, the construction crew does. Regardless, each specialty (hmm, that specialization again?) plays an important role in building a house. Blah... |

You mean that you have to study in order to to come with a straight answer right? Study economics OR do the math?
Public policy: I don't know why monopolies should not be formed. But I guess you do, right? :-) Care to explain?
> Jobs: Why do you have a specific job title instead of being a Jack of All Trades?
You probably see a connection among Jack-of-All-Trades and economics as a scientific field, which I do not. Enlighten moi please.
> Population: Why has the birth rate been declining?
Because they apply policies based on things that politicians and other ignorants (economists) think they understand, when the examples we have at hand shows they clearly DO NOT understand the how and the why. All they offer is a translation after their policy had failed miserably for the n-th time.
> Second, your analogies make little sense. The architect doesn't build the house, the construction crew does. Regardless, each specialty (hmm, that specialization again?) plays an important role in building a house.
Really? Have you take a closer look at Wall Street to see how many % of the population working there (financial sector) studied economics and not physics or some other math-intensive science?
How many doctors do you know without a degree in medicine but with a degree in physics?
