raghu: > Sociologist is a MUCH more honorable profession than economist, no? it depends on one's perspective: from the capitalist perspective -- or that of the typical economist -- any field that studies messy relationships between complicated creatures such as human beings is disreputable, since that topic can't be reduced to simple mathematical or graphical models. (Economists typically don't get that the subject-matter of sociology is much more complex than that of economics and thus blame the sociologists.) -- Jim Devine / "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." -- Albert Einstein _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
