Traditionally economics was dubbed the "dismal science" in response to the
notion that scarcity is its foundation, and it constantly unsettles people with its
emphasis on the role that self-interest plays. It is difficult to raise a crop of
Line idealism from fields of self-interest, and to some, this is a dismal outcome.
(5) However, there is an optimistic side to economics: economists focus on market
exchange, where both buyer and seller emerge with greater wealth than they
were before, a positive-sum outcome. In contrast, many social scientists
outside of economics make heavy use of power models to interpret the world,
arguably a far more pessimistic way to view reality and power models tend to
(10) see interactions as zero-sum, meaning that any winning is balanced by a loss:
where one person improves his situation, it must come at the expense of
another whose situation has become worse. But one reason those who use power
models are not dubbed "dismal scientists" is that they are often utopian,
spuriously claiming that at some distant moment, all may win.
It can be inferred that the author of the passage believes each of the following concerning social sciences other than economics EXCEPT
选项
A、They are "dismal" in their own way.
B、They disregard the notion that both buyer and seller can benefit from a market exchange.
C、They tend to make unreliable assumptions about the future.
D、They rely too much on power models.
E、They insufficiently account for the problem of scarcity when they make predictions.
