A thought for today

This just came to me:

(mainstream) Economics may be the only social science where when human behavior doesn't fit the model, humanity is blamed for the failure to conform to it rather than the model being required to explain the behavior.

Why is that?

Because, traditional economics believes that society in general acts in a perfectly rational way. In most of the cases it doesn't hold true and that's why these models fail. There is an altogether new and fascinating branch of science which is trying to answer your question called Behavioral Economics.
