Thanks for clarifying! I think many (perhaps most) EAs are broadly supportive of free market economics, with various caveats. The actually existing community tends to lean strongly left (with a mix of left and center left, with a significant number of centrists and libertarians as well), though we’ve not surveyed on specific attitudes towards “free market economics”. Also a number of EAs believe that promoting “growth-friendly economic policies” is highly important. It’s probably also worth noting that EA is a question (not an ideology), so different EAs can and do reach different views about these issues.
