Talk:Economic democracy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Initial creation
I have absolutely no knowledge on the subject however it had been requested for over a year, so using google I wrote a short framework Robbjedi 02:41, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
This is a tirade, not an encyclopedia article (IP)
What's the difference between economic "democracy" and communism? IMHO, it's just a new marketing term. --pankkake 20:27, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Complete rewrite needed
It looks like the original article solely described the marginal work of J. W. Smith, which I've now sectioned off. I have created a stub entry for that person, and suggest possibly moving the information there. The remaining text does not seem to begin to cover the range of usage of the term "economic democracy" that I've found. I really don't know how closely linked all of them are, but there seems to be one concentration around early 20th century socialist and marxist usage, which would probably form the basis for the heart of a "history" section for this article. Hopefully someone can be found who knows a fair bit about the history of the term and can create some good overview paragraphs - I've put in a request on the Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Business_and_Economics page (and added an {Expert} tag here), and if anyone else knows where appropriate writers might be found please try and recruit them.
In the meantime, I'm putting together some notes for a possible disambiguation page at User:Oberst/Economic democracy (disambiguation). - David Oberst 04:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Also, there is a separate page Economic Democracy, on specific writings of David Schweickart. These might be moved here, if this becomes a page with a number of small independent sections, or elsewhere if this becomes a full-fledged article (see Talk), but two separate articles with the same name differentiated only by capitalization is probably not a good thing. - David Oberst 05:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
