Abstract
A precise definition of science must precede the answer to the question of whether economics can be considered a science. Observable phenomena, general propositions and, based on them, predictions, define science, and the different types of predictions are considered here in some detail. Theories, particularly the theory of probability, lead to economic predictions and econometrics; it is concluded that economics is on the edge of science and on the edge of history.
