, 21:34, March 30, 2016→Social science of psychology frequently contains pseudoscience
Compared to medical science which has many effective medicines and surgical procedures, social science is often unreliable. For example, few economists (economics is a social science) in academia predicted the [[Great Depression]] or the 1987 financial crisis. [[Ludwig von Mises]] was snubbed by economists worldwide when he warned of a credit crisis in the 1920s.<ref>[http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704471504574443600711779692 The man who predicted the depression], Wall Street Journal</ref> Few, if any, political scientists predicted early on that [[Donald Trump]] would be the leading Republican candidate in the [[GOP]] primaries in 2016.
