Economics has morphed gradually into a study of psychology, with use of mathematics. How is that not science

You had to ask... and say (seriously). What do you think?

An economist is a mixture of 1) a businessman without common sense, 2) a physicist without brain, and 3) a speculator without balls.

Those with brains no balls become mathematicians, those with balls no brains join the mafia, those w no balls no brains become economists.

The real question is whether it produces falsifiable predictions. Does it? Then we can at least say that it employs the scientific method

it could be a science in theory but its filled with incompetent people so its basically like alchemy at this point. need better understanding of stuff for it to become more a science.

even a broken clock is right twice a day.

there is a economist's "prediction" for every possible result, whichever way the market goes there is going to be a shitconomist to say "called it!"

It's not filled with incompetent people at all. There are well established principles all economists believe in (eg. rent control is bad)

yeah, sure. but I don't think anyone seriously calls Economists *speculating* on the market (market used in the broadest sense possible) economics.
