I think economics is far more closely connected with the body politic than it with mathematics. Also applying mathematics to economics is also a political act and a signification. (Mathematics has an association with permanance which can be used symbolically to shore up a certain contingent political/economic order).

Physics examines the world by supposing the physical world follows a rational order, and that by dint of effort this order is discoverable. I can't see how this applies to the social order of societie(s); how does one measure wealth, imagination, violence, ethics, power, desire, criminality?

Whereas mathematics applied to physics captures something of its fundamental relationships, it appears to me that a mathematical model of a social order can only captures superficial and contingent things.
