I have found a interesting chart on the different modern branches of economics and their predecessors browsing through different articles on Economic theory. I have yet to decide where I stand, especially since I can see that there are tremendous flaws in each of the many approaches to solving the tough economic issues of our time.
The chart describes the common economic spectrum found in the field today. As you can see, there are many branches, from the anarcho-capitalists on the left to the post-Keynesians and the Marxians on the right. I think it's interesting that they have inverted the common left-right dichotomy. Despite the chart listing the most common modern approaches, I think there are other schools that are missing from this chart. They could also go with a multi-dimensional approach, by organizing them in a more detailed manner.
