Title: What's Your Economic IQ?......
Post by: redcliffsw on December 08, 2011, 01:29:04 PM
Murray Rothbard correctly observed that "It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."

With Rothbard's quote in mind, I have devised this simple quiz to test your level of economic ignorance and provide some sources for you to check out.

Here's the quiz......

I only did so so and actually guessed on 3 of them  :-\

You are 75% of the way there!

Impressive! You must at least be a fan of Milton Friedman, if not F.A. Hayek and Ludwig von Mises. You have probably logged onto mises.org once or twice. If you haven't, you probably should.

Warph, I don't see how you missed that one.  You must have misread it.
