Summary: Economics is an exciting science. Practitioners recognize its predictive models and limitations-it is a method, not a doctrine, a way of addressing an issue, not an end all or be all to the issue. Economics has no set answers but it does provide a framework for thinking that unlocks alternatives. The student who "thinks economically" will think in terms of economic models, and will evaluate each of the variables in the model and the alternative impact of each variable on the potential outcome.
