mainstream economics tended to use equations and calculus with dubious assumptions that made what they were doing seem to not have much relevance to the real world.
I find it rather amazing that they do this. They happily set up equations involving unprovable interactions among unmeasurable quantities and get meaningless results. And are happy about it!

They are not at the stage Aristotle was in physics, much less Galileo or Newton, and yet they want to use modern math on a nonexistent subject matter.
