I'm a great capitalist

Well, I didn't do so hot on my calculus exam, but apparently I'm now a student expert of the free market. Unlike the cheerleading note by my quant instructor, my econ instructor whispered into my ear, as she was handing out the graded mid-terms, "You got the best grade in the class." Was I proud of myself? Yes. Should I have been? I guess so. What does this mean? That I can manipulate meaningless graphs and equations that pretend that unfettered capitalism is really the best system out there?

Before I got my test back (I swear) - our instructor was growing on me. I was so upset at her understated rightwing statements the first few days that I was plotting how to change instructors and classes. But what could I have said? Excuse me, Frank, but can I get a socialist to teach my econ class? I guess I'm liking her more and more for a few reasons. First, think I'd rather have someone who is pretty much out there with her beliefs in the free market and what she's teaching then a liberal apologist who says the free market is ok, as long as we provide some tweaks to the system. Also, she is so helpful with being there for studio lab, answering e-mail questions til late in the night. Finally, she does teach the stuff pretty well.

That said, I am going to try to track down a radical economist if I can find one at Tufts, Harvard or MIT - I know, good luck to me.
