Re: What exactly do they teach in college economics?
They definitely do not teach that stuff in mainstream college econ courses. Your friend was either not paying attention or took a seminar class with a crazy far left professor.
But I'm sure that some people in here would love to take your example and hold it up as evidence of a huge far left liberal bias in US economics courses, but those claims are overblown. There are about 3 textbooks that are used in 99% of Econ 101-102 classes and none of them espouse anything like what your friend was espousing.
