Journal controversy
[edit]I added a paragraph on controversy surrounding the journal. This has been recently appearing in the journal itself this year and references are given. The issue goes back some and an earlier controversy is also cited. The page also had a request for expansion and this seems a suitable topic. Thinksome (talk) 22:21, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
- I strongly agree with your edit. I remember around 2002, in the email list "Ecol-Econ;" warnings (and apparent intrusions) regarding "inclusiveness has also apparently resulted in further loss of focus," ie; intrusive degradation was also energetically discussed. Sometimes people forget Nobel Prize laureate George Stigler's two main contributions; regulatory capture which says that interest groups will use coercive powers to shape laws and regulations in a way that is beneficial to them.
- In this sense, the journal is akin to a "regulator" of correct, concise E-E theory. This assumes Stigler's most important contribution to economics, published in, "The Economics of Information." which stressed the importance of information: "...that information is a valuable resource: knowledge is power. And yet it occupies a slum dwelling in the town of economics." (Likewise; Wikipedia beware of capture, —your economic information now has very high cash value needing protection.)
- I believe the article needs updating, and more detail about the journal. Is it still in existence? Growing, declining...etc?
