[lbo-talk] Galbraith: Entitlement cutting can't cut the deficit

[Carrol Cox]

In other words economics (including "Marxist" economics) is not and
cannot be a science, of _any_ kind. (Marx's Critique needs to be seen in
terms of the use of the German word for "science" in the mid-19th-c.)
The better economists more or less recognize that they are not engaged
in a scientific but a historical project. You can recognize them by
their reluctance to make _any_ kind of forecast except highly abstractr
ones in the form of if...then.
