>>Most "respected" economists in 2008 believed that the housing market was not in the bubble. How do you explain the results?<< They're idiots?? There is a small minority that knew what was going to happen -- just like everyone else on this thread. Economics IS a SOCIAL science -- so folks discount it as a science altogether because the techniques used in physics or chemistry don't apply. H*ll, most of the quantitative types in economics are just plain f'n crazy -- thinking they can figure anything out with their regression analyses!! total BS.
