there are some definite biases in the test though. I'd imagine it was written by a faintly libertarian/republican person or organization. I felt that both the phrasing and content of the econ portion and its prominence (compared to say cultural stuff) shows through.

You're right. The answer about the free market being better at enforcing property rights should have been acceptable as well. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

mostly the free market one, the keynes one made me question the bias a little bit as it wasn't prima facie biased, but in comparison to the free market one, yah it was.
