So, what about the stock market? The universe of numbers that represents the global economy. Millions of hands at work, billions of minds.
Great movie.
Economics is not math, its a religion.
The guy I'm replying to and i are quoting a movie about a troubled mathematician searching for a pattern in the stock market.
That aside, I disagree with your assertion that economics is a religion. I agree it's not math though. It uses math to form models for predictive/descriptive purposes, as do a lot of disciplines.
