| Given that my studies were heavily influenced by Messieurs Posner and Easterbrook, it is hardly surprising that my score puts me in the Chicago School.

| Socialist Answer: Capital's sole purpose is the exploitation of the proletariat.
Neoclassical Answer: Marginal Cost = Marginal Benefit...what else matters?
Austrian Answer: Touch my stuff and I'll kill ya.
Keynesian Answer: The gears of capitalism work better with a big bucket of government grease. | |

| 59/100. Chicago>Austrian, with a couple of Neoclassical answers on the side.
