Another false claim from you. You asked for examples of empirical science in economics. I pointed you to a reasonably good source.

Drlee wrote:I did no such thing.

Quetzalcoatl said, "What I strenuously object to is the study of economics as though it were a part of the natural world with its own scientific laws by which we are forever bound."
I replied, "You object to empirical science?"
You then said, "Post a link to this 'science,'" and I posted a link to some.
You made specific claims and accused another poster of ignoring the empirical science supporting those claims.

Please provide direct, verbatim, in-context quotes to support this claim.


Thought not.
I am still waiting for you to provide that evidence. You won't....you can't.

Provide a direct, verbatim, in-context quote to support your claim that the conversation was not as I have quoted it above, but rather what you claim it was.

You won't.... You can't.
On edit. Reagan increased US defense spending to 7% of GDP. This forced the Soviet Union to increase defense spending to a whopping 27% if GDP. This was dispiriting to the leadership and completely unsustainable for the Soviet Union.

Though the US never represented an actual threat to the existence of the Soviet Union, it was their great scapegoat. Its economy was a miserable failure for the people and its national pride and international identity stemmed from its military might. Had the Soviet Union been able to spend that money building a stronger consumer economy it may well have flourished. Even in a socialist framework.

No, that was forever impossible.
