Not exactly though I agree with patron theory. Koch brothers are mostly responsible for libertarian econ, most economists still leftists.

Econ is people who believe mostly in free markets vs. people who are such zealots they think belief in market failure is communism.

They believe in a Keynesian mixed economy with extensive regulation, taxes etc. A slim majority is even for minimum wage increases.

if that's 'mostly free markets' then the phrase is meaningless unless you mean full fledged Marxists.
