Why is Economics considered a "social science"?

Honestly, the social sciences can be stretched to encompass any field of study at all so I'm not surprised.

Still, why is it NOT considered a hard science?

My own thought is that so long as it remains a "social" science, the social engineers get to claim it for themselves. The result is that we get political solutions for economic problems.
