3、學(xué):所以說(shuō),大量的人嗤之以鼻的方式的優(yōu)點(diǎn)的紀(jì)律。大部分的批評(píng)來(lái)自于“純”或“適當(dāng)?shù)摹笨茖W(xué)家——物理學(xué)家、化學(xué)家和生物學(xué)家。現(xiàn)在,經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)當(dāng)然有其缺點(diǎn)。但是一般的方式方法和描述這個(gè)世界的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家,以及他們?nèi)绾蝹鬟_(dá)他們的消息對(duì)其他人,上了一課,純科學(xué)家應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)。???Economics?has?inexactitudes?and?vagueness?built?into?it.?The?general?lack?of?reliable?data?about?past?events?makes?virt

7、家朦朧的關(guān)于什么將會(huì)發(fā)生,現(xiàn)在他們更不確定的未來(lái)。由于通用測(cè)量困難,以及不可預(yù)見(jiàn)的事件,如戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)或自然災(zāi)害,經(jīng)濟(jì)預(yù)測(cè)幾乎總是錯(cuò)的,有時(shí)是由寬的利潤(rùn)率。至于經(jīng)濟(jì)理論,他們改變幾乎根據(jù)時(shí)尚,經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家可以毫不費(fèi)力地移動(dòng)它們之間,有時(shí)在同一時(shí)間持有多種截然相反的觀點(diǎn)。???The?contrast?with?scientists?could?not?be?starker.?The?tools?of?an?economist's?trade?are?muddy?data,?loose?theorising?
