I erased the "copy/paste" from the article, because it was a little out of context with the rest of the article; plus, it was obviously way too political to be posting on this forum. The professor is not conservative. He's a liberal. Way more so than I am. The only point of my original post, is to show that there is a difference of opinion, even in the academic community. I see a lot of people who say they are using a "basic understanding of economics" to basically post right-wing conservative opinion on economic theory. I'm just showing that not everyone agrees with them; even those who are authorities in the subject area.
