Causality in the Social Sciences Anybody?

Funny how there is no section on causal inference in the social sciences here? It says that to meet Wikipedia's quality standards, this article may require cleanup. Hopefully, somebody will find the time to contribute a social science section. Why not you? My guess is that readers of this blog know plenty about this topic...and the current entry is lacking a lot of what statistics has to say about causality.
