Uh...no; no, donny, he didn't do anything of the kind.

bobby's idée fixe (look it up, you monolingual doofus)
is that economics is a "subset" of psychology. It is
not, and he couldn't possibly show that it is. That
some economists have latterly become interested in some
aspects of psychology does not support his silly and
wrong claim.

Read what I wrote in reply to bobby. Oh, wait; you're
lowbrow moron, too, so you won't understand a word of
it. In a nutshell, the development of economics as an
academic discipline PREDATES the development of
psychology. That is not to say that philosophers
weren't already thinking of psychology long before it
became a separate discipline, but it is one of the
reasons economics, which emerged as a separate
discipline long before psychology did, is not a
"subset" of psychology.

bobby is a moron, and you have bet on the wrong horse.
