Talk:Normative economics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I can see why it's important to distinguish between Normative and Positive Economics. Normative Economics is very speculative. It can be whatever you want it to be. It's good to have ideals and goals and normative economics allows this. I don't understand how Normative Economics can be scientific. While a scientific reason can make you change your values, values in and of themselves are not scientific.
