Question 15 / 15:  Does the material in this chapter show that we prove economic theory with experimental evidence?
Answer: 

No, we can never have a truly controlled experiment in economics.

However, our deductive logic might give us true principles that, in practice, are insignificant and/or are swamped by other

factors that we didn't include in our reasoning. Looking at history is thus a useful "check" on our principles or laws.

Sample Partial Credit Answer

No, we are just seeing if our economic laws are illustrated in history.
