Economics

Economics is not simply a topic on which to express opinions or vent emotions. It is a systematic study of what happens when you do specific things in specific ways. In economic analysis, the methods used by a Marxist economist like Oskar Lange did not differ in any fundamental way from the methods used by a conservative economist like Milton Friedman.

Give not Saint Peter so much, to leave Saint Paul nothing.

In my youth it was said that what was too silly to be said may be sung. In modern economics it may be put into mathematics.
