Yep, he got the Mo(e) right, as in Moe Howard. Mo Brooks was recently called out for calling the Democrats socialists. He then went on to explain the difference between socialism and free markets (his words) because he was an economics major at Duke. Well I also have a degree in economics and I've never heard of the "free markets" school of economic thought. So I'd like to know if there are any fellow econ majors that are familiar with this school of thought and what it is built upon.

4. my undergrad major was economics.
And this "free markets" school of thought is something he pulled out of his ass. Did he get straight D's in college?
