[The_Rorschach]

Sociology has no applicable paradigm, neither does political theory (political "science" that is), economics does however. There is nothing soft about it. Neither does it embrace Baconian Idols -as sociology clearly does with its assumption of relational power existant in human interaction.

I'd put more faith in Economics than I would either of the above mentioned any day of the week for all the fact I'm a Political Science major.
