From what we have been told, what makes science science is the ability to perform controlled experiments to verify or reject hypotheses. However due to the nature of economics and the fact that there are far too many factors like sociology and psychology to control for, it’s impossible to do controlled experiments in the economy. Why is it considered a branch of science?

It shouldn’t and in my oninion it isn’t.
To be fair, they consider history and even f*cking literature to be a science for some godforsaken reason. The problem is that the people who determined that these are sciences either didn’t understand what science is and/or had particular interest in making these things a branch of ‘science’, most probably for funding and career options for those who want to study it (for some reason which I can’t seem to understand).
Tldr: Sciences not studying nature are pseudo.
