7. Yes, there were some subjective questions, and a little bias.

#31 I found a little difficult, mostly because I was not familiar with Tocqueville enough to eliminate his answer with certainty.

#48 I also had some trouble with, mainly because the correct answer (C) seemed a little weird, and one alternative (E) is at least plausible. There are real issues with central banks trying to control inflation in the context of supply shocks--it's only the word "influence", a very weak standard, that makes that answer wrong.

#49 is just an awful definition of capitalism, but I know what the "official answer" is, so I didn't find it particularly difficult.

#50 I hesitated for a while on... I decided on A by process of elimination. A does actually make sense, but isn't usually the reason given (at least not in that phrasing), which tend to focus more on incentives.

Some of the others (for instance, 58) I knew without any trouble, but are still tough questions that most intelligent and knowledgeable people might not know... I just happen to have an interest in the subject.
