The Nash Equilibrium notwithstanding, of course.

Other than that, a lot of people would agree with you.

But, otoh, above and beyond whatever legitimate science/math is actually in
economics, it *is* a good jargon to learn, as it does make the effing world
go 'round--well, approximately round, at any rate.

Also socially illuminating:
For example, the very existence of the supply-demand curve (in its
traditional shape), never mind the fact that it perhaps the economic
equivalent to Thermodynamic Law, bespeaks the fact that our species is
*fundamentally* extortionist.
Supply goes down, price goes up, 'til they equilibrate--now what natural
law/property dictates dat??
GREED.

Be sure to take a course in economics if you can. It is a real help in
understanding a lot of things. Need convincing........Check out the
book " Freakanomics ". Easy reading about good insights can be gained.

You think? All my university economics course taught me was to
distrust economists with their pseudo-scientific and
psuedo-mathematical methods.
