before getting that government job, or tenured in academia, would they better understand the way conservatives view the economy?
Stereotypical I know, but I really am curious.

I don't fit their stereotype well, but that may be due to the fact that I was a hippie radical in my youth and slid right after Carter.
I think the conclusions to their final test were most telling:
"People have two modes of thought," concludes Solomon. "There's the intuitive gut-level mode, which is what most of us are in most of the time. And then there's a rational analytic mode, which takes effort and attention."
This question begged a more visceral response, obviously.

Your answer causes me to wonder if we shouldn't just force you guys to work in government/acadamia and stay out of business altogether. That would stifle your freedom of course, but would you really care?

I believe the single best thing that could happen to our economy is China unpinning the yuan from the dollar, and allowing it to rise to its natural level. With annualized 3rd quarter growth of 8.9% this year, China really has no motivation to move in that direction.
Suppose we took the "no-bailouts" conservative approach instead of the Keynesian rescue approach? Our economy would have ground to a halt and we'd be standing in bread lines. But China would too, and the answer would still be unhinge the yuan from the dollar. Would they be more receptive?
