The only way I can parse that sentence is, 
"Psychology is not the science of human choices; 
economics is the science of human choice and 
action." Doesn't leave much room for Psychology, 
does it?  But if I were trying to influence the 
public's product choices with an ad campaign, 
would I hire an economist or a psychologist?
