Mark Buchanan is a theoretical physicist who writes about how physics can be used to understand biology, economics, psychology and other socialsciences.
It combines natural andsocialsciences, economicsand education to improve human livelihoods and safeguard natural ecosystems, thus promoting innovative approaches to economic development that is socially and culturally appropriate and environmentally sustainable.
In reality, the only lesson to be drawn from this episode is that academic economics, like many socialsciences, is grounded in hubris and pseudo-precision.
The authors thus note that one doctor of economics in three working in the United States and nearly one doctor of socialsciences in five was born abroad.
