Yeah, all economists at least get an introduction to macro. Most believe the fiat nonsense they are taught. Which is not so shocking, they are young and lack experience and knowledge that would contradict it.

The ones I were talking to were not macroeconomists though. We were all microeconomists.

I think they just got it drilled into their heads in macro classes that the gold standard was bad, without thinking too much more about it.
