Note that IEB has several contributors who have their own places on the political spectrum. Speaking for myself, I reject ideological pigeonholing (which paradoxically, opens one up to another label--centrism, which I reject for the same reason). The business of governance (and the making of public policy) is very different from taking ideological positions. Bulla Nai Jaana Mein Kaun! Gurmeet,

Wear it proudly and live up to it. But- while you often express pro-freemarket sentiments, the actual solutions you propose are as often not so. You often seem so tied up in the technical jargon of economics that you lose sight of this fact -freedom works, and it works better than anything else, despite whatever some enthusiast playing with game theory or bayesian priors might say. http://libertynewscentral.blogspot.com/ “Free Market Fundamentalists”- that’s not a criticism, it’s a honor.

That's because most of the time this blog is condemned as being full of "Free Market Fundamentalists". So both you and Krish cannot be right at the same time. Gurmeet,

We don\'t need more jobs in the government: more babus=less productivity. It is pity that the level of understanding of such fundamentals is so low at this blog.
