I’m not a mathematician. Economics is not math, at all. You haven’t listened to any of the 100s of articles, book, papers and the rest on economics and my further explanations of them if you think economics and math are anything alike.

Economics is the study of human choice and valuation. These things cannot be reduced to mathematical equations at all, and this is literally a huge part of the fundamental foolishness of mainstream economics.

Isn’t whether everything (quite literally everything in the universe including human choice) can be explained by mathematics or not an ongoing debate in the discipline?

It truly is the dismal science. But politicians and media treat it with the certainty of the hard sciences.
