Humans are, thats why economics is soaking with steaming BullShit and is often abused the same way Astrology or Religion might be, to give legitimacy to an political agenda.
There are tools and principles that have value and should be considered, the problem is to think that because these work in theory in a totally arbitrary model that they then must apply to the real world (where markets are manipulated, black markets abound, hundreds of billions sold in illegal drugs are being laundered every year, corruption, oligarchy, colusion, conflicts of interests are real, policy, politics, environment is altered, health is affected, etc).
