Мужик признал, что вопросы у него были biased.Одинаковый wrote: Daniel Klein, a professor of economics at George Mason University, says in Econ Journal Watch that progressives do not understand how money works; basically they would flunk Economics 101.
Their Zogby research surveyed 4,835 American adults and found that the self-identified liberals or Democrats failed to understand even the simplest concepts, such as that restrictions increased costs. And even really obvious things, like that rent control decreased availability for people not in television sitcoms, or that licensing fees drove up costs of services - nothing. Despite the evidence.
Basically, if the position did not reconcile with their aesthetic or moral belief, they simply decided not to accept it as valid.
Оказалось, что на самом деле никто в экономике не смыслит.

But one year later, in May 2011, Buturovic and I published a new scholarly article reporting on a new survey. It turned out that I needed to retract the conclusions I’d trumpeted in The Wall Street Journal. The new results invalidated our original result: under the right circumstances, conservatives and libertarians were as likely as anyone on the left to give wrong answers to economic questions. The proper inference from our work is not that one group is more enlightened, or less. It’s that “myside bias”—the tendency to judge a statement according to how conveniently it fits with one’s settled position—is pervasive among all of America’s political groups. The bias is seen in the data, and in my actions.
