Economics is an abstract idea. It is strategies and plans put into place. Even currency is an abstract idea. What may be law now (Capitalism) might be out-lawed later. And it is feasible that Economics will complete lose it's use at some point.
In Geometry, a^2+b^2 will always equal c^2. Euclid proved this.
My point is the abstract vs. the physical properties.
Economics can be debated as to which strategies are better than others. You can never debate that there will always be 180 degs in a triangle. We can always improve our understanding of these studies but once it's proven, it is law.
