I'm in school right now (yes, business) and I took an econ class a couple of terms ago. It *leaned* right for quite a few subjects, but was more balanced than I thought it would be. I'm taking corporate finance right now and it's even MORE balanced. Then again, I'm in Canada, maybe that makes a difference. OUR economic model prevented many banks from collapsing so now our textbooks have plenty of the whole '2008 crash - lessons to be learned' articles in them. A bit of looking down on the US system in our texts as well. Interesting the difference. None of my instructors have been right wing and most of my classes have been in business, finance or accounting.
