Economics is just a branch of science concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth. It's not a problem looking for a solution, it's an attempt at understanding an extremely complex system.

It sounds like you have a problem with economic theories and people being unwilling to acknowledge the flaws in them, which is a valid problem to have.

But name a branch of science that hasn't pushed bad theories and resisted evidence to the contrary.
