@GhostOnTheHalfShell@economics@a.gup.pe Economics is in the 19th century bloodletting and leeches stage because it cannot do controlled experiments.
Except now it can. Multiplayer video games with convertible currency, and discrete event simulations with all NPCs, can produce real world economic behavior.
And then you can start trying out all the alt-money theories and see which ones work and which are bunk.
We'd also have to get the Wall Street influences out of economics.
