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!]

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.

Suggestions please!

Subject to comments, I have finished with Economics and nearly finished with Macroeconomics. I should appreciate some fellow-economists' comments before I turn to other things. Is anybody interested?
