> like the study of economics [...] There are no universal laws that always hold true in all situations
I've got great news for you! There are universal economic laws that always hold true in all situations.
For example, "man acts". You can't deny that, because denying it would be an act in itself, leading to a (performative) contradiction. From this law, and just a few others of a similar kind, you can build a whole structure of logically provable theorems that have profound implications for economics and the social sciences in general.
