I always thought I was on the extreme right on economics. So there are people out there who would actually like the 19th century way of sharing the economic spoils. I could handle that, but I am really surprised that there are many other people who would really want that. Almost everyone I know who sounds “right-wing” on economics turns out, on closer inspection, to want government subsidies and support for their activities. So I’ve always thought the real free marketeers were a tiny number. I’m still a little suspicious, and think I am unusually right-wing (libertarian) on the economics.
Good test. More objective tests of this style could civilize our political discourse.
