Economists love to disagree. How can it be so subjective? Doesn't history...

...eventually prove who is right? It seems every economist has an opinion (Hayek vs. Keynesian etc), almost like a big bipartisan football game. But, doesn't it eventually get to the point where ideas must be proven valid or not valid? I mean, can't history and the success of foreign economies indicate what has or has not worked? Why is there still so much disagreement?

Economics is not a exact science. It's a social science. So history's proof is just an interpretation of what history is.
