As a scientist, I frequently take issue with economics primarily because there is no way, with a sample size of 1, to empirically demonstrate that one solution is better than another. Each instance of an economic downturn, for example, occurs under somewhat different sets of circumstances.<br /><br />Without comprehensive knowledge of the multiverse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse), I'm not clear how you can demonstrate that making a different historical choice would have resulted in a particular (better or worse) outcome. In this case (or our current economic problems), I don't think even hindsight can be 20/20.EllenQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04805375871164019260noreply@blogger.com
