Economic Left/Right: -2.62

In a left leaning Libertarian? I guess. There were no options for "I don't believe in the government".

All the questions that I saw were phrased to make you biased toward the liberal side.
American liberal or actual liberal?
And yes, a few of the questions are biased, ones that are supposedly right wing economics put forth propositions that would make even Ayn Rand roll her eyes

There's a difference?  Please tell me.
British liberalism is basically libertarianism on steroids, and it is what is considered liberalism in much of the western world.

I stopped at "Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment."

How about, 'when did you stop beating up your wife' :P

Wisdom would suggest that you cannot control either.

I would suggest that if this fight should continue, it be in another thread so that this thread can stay on topic.

No he didn't, for two reasons: you can only affect inflation and never control it. Secondly, it doesn't matter in any case as the wisdom is the Golden Rule, and you are missing the point again. Ill clarify it for you; affecting inflation will benefit one group of people at the expense of others. This is the same for unemployment, you can affect it but you will hurt some people in the process. This is illegal under iMtG law and any compatible ethics, such as Christian, for example.
