The two schools of economic thought.

There are really two big schools of modern economic though, the bottom-up and the top-down.  The bottom up school is made up of the Austrians and the New Institutional Economists.  The top-down school is made of the Monetarists and the new Keynesians.

    I think that's an overbroad and inaccurate generalization.

    Probably, Rob, I was trolling to see how other people categorized the various methods. How do you do it?

    I think this is about right. It explains why many more libertarian bloggers were thrilled by Ostrom's Nobel win despite not herself being libertarian. She's a bottom-up economist. Whenever you mention a "two types of people in the world" argument, it almost has be be overgeneralized.

For math: Type your TeX math expression, in $$$$...$$$$.
For example $$$$\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$$$$
Looks like $$\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$$
If you need to type a double dollar sign, instead type four of them together
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LEAVE AN OPEN DOUBLE DOLLAR SIGN IN THE COMMENTS.
