This flatness was acceptable as truth because travel and human knowledge of celestial phenomena were so limited that no other concept was needed.

34、people’s lives. In economics (and in other social sciences), the pursuit of truth is slowed because human behavior cannot be subjected to the kinds of controlled experiments that are possible with white rats and guinea pigs. The economist must follow the steps in a search for new truths about

Nevertheless, problems, facts, principles, and policies must be considered in a systematic way.What can we infer from the fact that the world was perceived as flat（）AMost people during the Dark Ages were illiterate
