Boy, my sentiments exactly. I think Political Science (my second major
--History was first-- and a questionable "science") is more science than
economics -- since two economists can look at the exact same info and
come up with opposite remedies based on their own preconceived sociopolitical
ideology.

Much of the macroeconomics stuff I see has to do with the mob psychology
and the herd mentality of wall street investors...
