Speculating on the Economic Cavalry, Part 2

As Americans stage what appears to be a fiscally-focused Great Awakening and the political tide turns toward the Republicans, the putative standard bearers of fiscal restraint, I have speculated on which economists will shape Republican thinking on economic policy should they take power in November and beyond. Yesterday in thw WSJ, an all-star cast of free market, fiscally conservative economists laid out a manifesto or sorts on where our nation's economic policy needs to go. Well worth reading. With the exception of Schultz, each of these men could play a roll in shaping the Republican policy agenda, and hopefully the nation's, for years to come.
