Re: What exactly do they teach in college economics?
It is true that the majority of college professors are liberals, but I doubt this is true among the majority of college economics professors.
When I took economics in college, I was actually disturbed at how everything was generally simplified to support the conservative position. Although my first economics professor was a prominent conservative (and economic advisor to several GOP Presidents), I didn't get the impression that this conservative slant was his doing.
Rather, it is the way that beginning economics is taught everywhere, and a by-product of the choice to generally use wealth as a suitable substitute measure for utility.
