Every last one of the economics courses I've taken was smothered in caveats about the underlying assumptions--you could make a drinking game out of it. Fields like behavioral economics address specific criticisms with new theory, making BE even more likely to clearly and consistently note problems with the foundation.

I'm okay with econ being a social science (it sure wasn't taught in the Natural Science building at my school!), and I'm okay with being critical of the way its framework extends into my life. I don't understand how anyone can get through the gauntlet of econ warnings with hubris intact.
