Lefties Flunk Economics

Daniel Klien in the Wall Street Journal writes, (hat tip: Mark Perry)

``Who is better informed about the policy choices facing the country—liberals, conservatives or libertarians? According to a Zogby International survey that I write about in the May issue of Econ Journal Watch, the answer is unequivocal: The left flunks Econ 101...

Why? Because ``the left has trouble squaring economic thinking with their political psychology, morals and aesthetics."

Read the rest here.

For me, the best explanation for this can be found from Immanuel Kant-- "I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief."
