What this article is about

This article is about the American School of economics akin to the Austrian and Chicago Schools and as practiced by the United States as official policy. Any user seeking the article on the American System that is a part of this school should go here: American System (economic plan). --Northmeister 08:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Moved page per above discussion

I've made all the relevant moves. Though some cleanup is needed - and a delete of American System (economic system) is needed - this WILL can do. I made the American System (economic plan) the article as it existed on Feb. 5th 2006 when I begin editing - we can start from there on dealing with just the Clay plan. I've made this article the result of our work up til now on the overall American System or School - and changes to that effect can hence be made. --Northmeister 07:34, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

We'll have to settle through with fixing of inbound links and redirects. I suspect that most will go the historical American System, not to this article. Lemme see what I can do with the AS article, that may not be the best starting point. -Will Beback 09:06, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

PS: Thanks for your efforts in sorting things out. -Will Beback 11:09, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Going from here

Now that we've split the original article - I've redone some of the rhetoric section in this article and am looking for ideas on how to reformat. That is: should we move history up, combine philosophy with policies etc.? I am unsure at the moment. I might step back from both articles for a temporary break to take a rest from this project and do other things. But any feedback would be welcomed. I want to thank WILL and WAS for the effort they made in making this move happen. --Northmeister 00:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Another item that should be on the task list is summarizing the 784-word excerpt from Lind. I'm not sure why it's in the article, and no explanation was given. If we want to include a section on Lind's views of the American System then we should work on that. If we want to impart the wisdom of Lind to the article then his ideas should be integrated into relevant sections rather then left in a heap at the end. Either way, we shouldn't have such a long quotation. -Will Beback 02:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm done here for now. Thank you both for an interesting experience and thank you both for helping to improve Wikipedia - a gift from all of us editors to all of mankind. See you two 'round the 'pedia! WAS 4.250 16:06, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
