 Economics is a political argument. It is not – and can never be – a science; there are no objective truths in economics that can be established independently of political, and frequently moral, judgments. Therefore, when faced with an economic argument, you must ask the age-old question 'Cui bono?' (Who benefits?)…Political and ethical judgments are present even in ostensibly value-free exercises…you should never believe any economist who claims to offer 'scientific', value-free analysis….There isn't just one right way of 'doing' economics, despite what most economists tell you…[/quote]
