I've been reading up more on political theory, both Keynesian and more libertarian views, and I've moved to the right economically. I didn't change at all on social issues.

Interesting. What spurred this on?

I've been reading up on economic theory on both sides, and have rethought some positions, and thus have trended rightward somewhat.

So you're a moderate socialist?

[Democratic Hawk]

It's been a while:

Economic score: -3.61
Social score: +1.04

Your score pegs you as economically moderately leftist and socially center-authoritarian.

Moderate economic leftists generally support regulation of free trade and business to assure that workers are fairly treated and prices remain stable.

Social center-authoritarians generally have moderate social views, with a slight lean toward government intervention. They may have moderate cultural and religious views, but on the whole believe that the government should assure that society should stay moral.

[Ronnie]

I believe I have become ever so slightly more libertarian than when I joined here.  My economic score was a little lower and my social score was about the same.

I am content with my score, so get used to it!
