Economic rationalism was nominated as a good article, but it did not meet the good article criteria at the time (July 12, 2020). There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.

This page refers to something it calls the "alternative end of the political spectrum". Having never heard that expression before, I followed the link to political spectrum, hoping to find an explanation there. Interestingly, the article there refers to "alternative political spectra", but not political spectra with alternative ends. A variety of political spectra are described there, each with two ends. What political spectrum would have an alternative end, and what would the end opposite it be called? The mainstream end, perhaps?

Presumably, "alternative" should read "opposite" - "opposite" in this case being the left, as opposed to economic rationalists, which would be on the right. I don't know about the subject, but that seems the most likely explanation to me. --Camembert

I had a hard time with this myself, as much political description in the wikipedia is academic and textbook derived. There doesn't seem to be single term to describe the movement of modern political social and environmental progressivism, which are often now found linked in 'green' and other 'alternative' parties in most western democracies. Perhaps it should have been phrased "'alternative' or 'progressive' ends of many relevant political spectra". -- Sydhart

Having looked at the external reference, what is referred to as economic rationalism appears to be what I've seen elsewhere called positive (as opposed to normative) economics. -- n8chz

What is it?

It's all very well explaining the history of "economic rationalism", but it would be nice to have a deeper understanding of what it actually is.

Ha :) It's a pejorative term for classical liberalism and no more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.83.32.14 (talk) 18:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article is barely sourced, and nowhere near the good article criteria, specifically "immediate failures" section 1. Quick failing this item. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:46, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is this even a thing?

Is this term even notable? None of the references work or back up the claims made. Im tempted to put it up for AfD but Ill ask: Is there any real possibility that this article will improve to the point where it should not be deleted? Bonewah (talk) 16:39, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
