Econ makes you right -eaning, clear-thinking, and wealthier

 From Marginal Revolution:

• studying social sciences and humanities makes students more left-leaning, whereas studying economics and business makes them more right-leaning. 
•  the rightward effects of economics and business are driven by positions on economic issues, whereas the leftward effects of humanities and social sciences are driven by cultural ones. 
• humanities and social sciences increase activism, while economics and business increase the emphasis on financial success.
