The decision basis most policy makers have to go on are overwhelmingly economic data. This is needed but economics is far from being a science. For one thing, the units economists use are much less concise than those of physics, biology etc. For another, the world would continue without economists. Science-based professions, like engineering and medicine, would stop working without its science-based practitioners.
Is it possible to create a rational decision basis using metrics other than money? Can this be presented in a way that will help decision-making? Especially decisions about transition to a circular economy?
