Could Bob Solow Have Replaced Pythagoras? An Alternate Universe Where Economists Solve the Problem of Right-Triangles

This essay demonstrates the full range and potential contributions economists have to offer many academic disciplines. We argue that in the absence of a formula which identifies the length of the hypotenuse on a right-triangle, known today as the Pythagorean theorem, economists would have eventually discovered it. In the absence of the traditional mathematical proof, chances are good that it would have become known as Solow's theorem, an equation which would have predicted the hypotenuse without residual
