A Batesian Mimicry Explanation of Business Cycles ...
Except that analogy of those analogies is itself a false analogy. Bouncing models off each other is a typical mechanic of scientific innovation. No one is suggesting economists take the theories as wrote and apply them without due consideration.

I know, i love the analogy minefield, it is totally a slippery slope. Once you make one you make ten. And then it goes all to hell in handbasket.
In seriousness though, economics
is
a biological system. If anyone says otherwise, they are fool.

Everything related to humans or life on this planet is a biological system. That does not mean anthropology or entomology can model financial systems.
