    Economics is the hardest social science, because it uses the most math.

    It’s somewhere between physics and sociology.

      That doesn’t make any sense. Anything involving math is relatively easy because there’s only one right answer. A lot of people have this backwards because they have shitty math education and seem to think higher maths are akin to some kind of alchemy.

        Hard science as in “has a right answer”, as opposed to a soft science that is more subjective.

        I’m not referring to difficulty.
