There is no science of economics. Nor politics, sociology or psychology. They are by definition: philosophies.

Evidence? Science begins wit the hypothesis; the question. Next it must be tested using the scientific method. Replicability of the test is absolutely mandatory.

Otherwise an excellent analysis. After all, gold is what it is based upon 1000's of years of opinion. Or you can trust the opinion of the last 40 some years by pseudo-scientists reading goat entrails.
