No because neither make use of the scientific method.

Yeah you can do whatever you want

How does economics not make use of the scientific method? Or is it that you've never studied any economics? Go to bed, brainlet.

I'm not sure what kind of answer you expect, it's the same way the scientific method isn't applied to criminal law or burger flipping or astrology, it just isn't. What made you mistakenly think it was used in economics?

Anyone who thinks there's a single, unified "scientific method" doesn't really understand science. Conducting experiments and drawing conclusions from the results definitely qualifies as "science".

Oh boy!
In all seriousness, economics is certainly a soft science on account of the limitations inherent in studying social systems, but like any science it's about proposing hypothesis and gathering data to support them. It's nothing like criminal law or burger flipping. What I'm suggesting is that you don't actually know what economists do.
