So lots of people are saying that economics isn't a science like physics or biology. That it's more of a social science like political science or sociology. That it's not a science because it doesn't have much in common with biology or physics. <br><br>I think a lot of this is a reaction to the title of natural science textbooks like "Biology: Science of Life" or "Chemistry: Central Science". So I think lots of people have this idea in their mind that if it's not a natural science like physics, biology, or chemistry, then it's not a science. Most people that I've talked to seem to think that if it's not a natural science, then it's not a science. So lots of people that I've talked to seem to think that economics is a social science, and not a science.
