A CALL TO ECONOMICS AUTHORS AND EDITORS

We need much more activity on CZ with social science, and especially economics articles. A new author here, Nick Gardner, has made a heroic start with some core Economics articles. We transferred the text from the old article Economics to a new article History of economic thought which now requires massive editing to put it in shape. There are also some other articles which need attention. I propose listing articles into several categories, to guide us through the workload.

Please add any articles you would like to nominate for these groupings [and feel free to start work on them too!]

Core economics articles which are completely MISSING

Core economics articles which are stubs or low quality

Core economics articles which are good but need development to reach approval standard

Economics

Microeconomics

Macroeconomics

Economics articles which seem redundant but whose content may be useful for other articles

Economics subdisciplines

Economics articles which appear to be finished, of very high quality, and may be ready for formal Editor approval

Below, I also paste a message from Nick, about his recent edits on some core economics articles. We hope that we can put together a really good economics coverage on CZ.--Martin Baldwin-Edwards 20:10, 23 September 2007 (CDT)

New articles

I have made a tentative start at writing new articles on Economics, Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.

I have aimed them at the ordinary reader seeking a broad appreciation of what it's about rather than at students of economics looking for help with their essays. I leave the task of meeting students' needs to those of you that are in the teaching profession. I suggest putting that material in a separate article titled (perhaps) " Economic Theory"

Please let me have your comments and criticisms.
