Economic Policies

Greg Mankiw lists several policies overwhelmingly favored by economists, though rarely supported by the electorate (or the candidates):

• Support Free Trade
• Oppose Farm Subsidies
• Leave Oil Companies and Speculators Alone
• Tax the Use of Energy
• Raise the Retirement Age
• Invite More Skilled Immigrants
• Liberalize Drug Policy
• Raise Funds for Economic Research

He left off "eliminate the minimum wage."
