Unfortunately, economics as a "science" has no answer for the questions we face now.
As one person noted, "The power of a..theory may be measured as a ratio: the number of facts that it explains divided by the number and type of assumptions it needs to postulate in order to do the explaining. A theory that assumes most of what it is trying to explain is a bad theory."
That is why most economic theory is bad theory.
