Index of economics articles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 142.177.72.100 (talk) at 22:56, 6 February 2003 (what goes here, what doesn't - and new links). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This aims to be a complete list of the articles on Economics in Wikipedia. Please add to the list if you see articles missing.

It does not include articles about economists, who are listed in the List of economists. It intersects necessarily with the list of ethics articles, as many economists accept that a theory of economics is also a theory of ethics, i.e. that economic values reflect to a large degree moral and social values. Religion also offers economic guidance, e.g. on usury, charity and zakat (one of the list of Islamic terms in Arabic, meaning "alms").

In general these moral and ethical arguments are contained in other lists, and should be minimized here unless they are in context of an economic mechanism or market system. Idiosyncratic views of individual economists should also be confined to the their biographies or articles on specific works - of economics, not say sociology. A complete biography of Marx for instance would include both, and politics too, but his economic terms of art, e.g. means of production, surplus value are included in the list as below, as they were and are widely employed by other economists.
