[edit] monetary union
Is monetary union left out of this series on purpose? It seems like it belongs to me, but I'm no expert. Ingrid 16:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- I s'pose it might be because it sort of doesn't fit into the logical progression — groups of countries have existed who had a monetary union, but little more than that in terms of integration. —Nightstallion (?) 18:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- I guess I'm still missing something. Isn't it also true that groups of countries have existed with a trade bloc and little else. Similarly for a customs union or free trade area? I imagine that once you get to a common market, you're pretty well integrated. It would make more sense to me for the template to look like:

[edit] Trade Templates
While working on current account, I decided to make a trade template. A search didn't turn this one up and because the trade article is so messy, I didn't see this one. It was only after I completed and added this template to the trade article did I notice the trade bloc one. I really think trade is a large enough topic to be deserving of several templates (a big one and some smaller specialized ones) but I'm not sure how best to break them up.
I reccomend we try to figure this out quickly because Wikipedia's trade-related articles are in poor shape; this seems like a good way to start working on them. -David Youngberg 18:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair trade
Seems that Fair trade should be an item on this template. Morphh (talk) 02:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
