Understanding history is essential in fields like economics, law, and politics because it provides context to our current world. Unlike natural sciences, we cannot conduct experiments in these areas to predict outcomes. Instead, we rely on historical events to guide our understanding and decision-making, as they reveal patterns and consequences that inform current practices and policies. This historical insight is crucial for shaping informed, effective strategies in these complex and interconnected domains.
