Sustained growth, like "economic science", is an oxymoron.

There is no science that correlates the use of arbitrary symbols posed as capital. Risk is risk, a primate bias.

Economics is essentially "mathematical politics". We can no more create a science of economics than a science of mythology.

Downvoting only proves the point: economics is like any primate bias, it enforces status at the cost of the collective or institutional. The US is a sad case for economic "modeling."
