Was Frisch's work too mathematical for economics?
While some may have found my insistence on mathematical rigor to be a departure from traditional economic discourse, I believed it was essential for true progress. The complexity of economic systems demands precise tools for analysis. Narrative intuition, while useful, can be prone to subjective interpretation. My aim was to move economics towards a science that could be objectively tested and quantitatively understood, ensuring that our conclusions were grounded in empirical evidence rather than solely in abstract reasoning.
