Keep in mind that the German language has built-in pretention.

Economics is known as a science in German.  Germans, I believe, tend to think
of laws.  However, even Anglo-Saxon economists have been known to write of
the laws of supply and demand.  Do we hear much about that sort of language
when respectable economists apply it?
