I'll nitpick terminology here, taking a larger view : has the Chicago school brand of economics been around long enough now to be considered "conservative" now ?
And its rightward momentum seems to be much more liberal to me, considering how often it's about removing regulations...
The Chicago school was always "conservative" inasmuch its ideas, whether intending to or not, in practice produce results that maintain existing power relationships and economic distributions.
