Henry George quote from 1998?
I noted that in section "Monopoly power versus purchasing power", there's a quote from Henry George, making reference to note 22:
Note 22. George, Henry (1998). Protection or Free Trade: An Examination of the Tariff Question, With Especial Regard to the Interests of Labor. New York: Robert Schalkenbach Foundation. ISBN 978-0-911312-83-6.
It's a reference to a recent (1998) publication of "Protection or Free Trade". However, Henry George died in 1897, and the original publication of this book was in 1886.[1]
Should this be corrected? I was surprised to see a quote from Henry George in 1998. More experienced editors may know if this is common practice when quoting certain texts, but it's my impression that it should quote the original publication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.203.151.89 (talk) 13:58, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
While there's certainly a lot of variation within the concept of economic democracy and a ridiculous amount of variation among varieties of socialism, economic democracy is usually one of the core tenets of socialism, even if in some cases that's not how it's implemented in reality. Even if some early thought on economic democracy came from classical liberals like Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill, in the time since then it's become much more strongly tied to various kinds of socialism. Adding the socialism navbox might clutter up the top of the page since there're already two for democracy and economic systems, but it seems like it would fit here, especially since the navbox is present in pages like the one for economic planning. If there's no objection, I'll go ahead and add it.
