My issue is that you cannot build much of the mathmatical rigour without such unrealistic assumptions as to make the models near useless.

Today, much of economics is embracing statistics as the primary tool to understanding human behavior and their impacts. I find this a much better way to keep the field rigorous and get to meaningful answers.

It makes it much harder for economics to be used to just maintain the status quo, imo.
