Yep, intro to micro and macro and intermediate micro and macro.
Economics, just like any social science, can be biased towards a political leaning. For example, my micro econ prof actually said that there are no positive aspects to taxation, which obviously is completely oblivious to any positive social benefits that occur due to social programs funded by taxes. Let alone roads, for transport of goods, healthcare which insures a healthy work-force. I found UofC econ really slanted towards (surprise, surprise) a hard right-wing approach.
I think your UofC econ classes probably explain your take on things. If you would'v taken econ at a different school, you might see things differently.
