In my opinion, it's not 'non-Newtonian economics' but is, instead, merely a slightly different approach to the study of 'welfare economics'. So far, it has not faced the unwanted fact that Carlyle was quite correct when he took his lead from The Right Reverend Thomas R. Malthus and called economics "the dismal science". Economics, again in my opinion, must become a TRUE science and concern itself ONLY with 'who gets how much when there is not enough to go around'. Humanity's unbridled fecundity guarantees that there will never be enough for everybody. Basically, the dumb and the deluded are reproducing faster than the enlightened can win converts.<br /><br />The Association for the Advancement of non-Newtonian Economics (AAnNE) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156423369007429823.post-30774840328157370242010-09-13T13:00:10.101-05:002010-09-13T13:00:10.101-05:00To call this non-Newtonian is akin to biologists ...To call this non-Newtonian is akin to biologists dividing animals into elephants and non-elephants.<br /><br />At least he didn't use "entropy".
