Hello folks,

I'm looking for a reference that gives a schools underlying econ philosophy. It seems that might would be useful before applying. For example, Chicago is obviously free-market oriented (monetarist?) and GMU is also free-market with some austrian leanings (not sure how strong that is, but it is a sub-specialty there). Is there a webpage or something that has this information?

If not, can I get views on the following:
Texas
Duke
UNC
GMU
Tenn
Clemson
UGA
Florida
FSU
WVU
Vanderbilt
Virginia
Washington (I'm generally interested in the south, but I currently live in WA, so might as well ask)

Thanks...

Howard

note: I just submitted this but it seemed to fail, I hope there aren't two posts.
