Talk:List of economic systems

This article will try to: --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 13:09, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * list all possible economic systems by name
 * present all possible lists (cathegorisations) of economic systems

Rv/latest changes
Removed the others lists. If it is not right or left-wing, it is not to be mentioned in this list - please follow this simple rule. In case there is much confusion, we may have a list of some popular 'other' systems and explanations that they have both right and left wing variants (like coordinatorism and anarchy)

Rv/latest changes in the List by left-wing and right-wing:
 * Anarchism is not left wing, it has both right and left wing variants, therefore they should be listed in their sections
 * Anarchism, in its original form, was entirely left-wing. "Anarcho-capitalism" did not develop until the 1950's, and it is a branch of classical liberalism, not anarchism (despite the name).


 * brought back Market economy to the right wing system list, it is one of the most important items there.
 * Market economy is already mentioned in the first classification of systems. And, in any case, a market economy is not necessarily right-wing (think about market socialism, for example).

 * removed Corporatism since it points to the same link as corporate capitalism ATM and the latter is better for the list
 * Ok, I agree with that one. I didn't notice the redirect when I first made my changes.

Problematic systems for the left and right wing list
In the right-left wing list ATM, but can be important later.


 * Feudalism - can it be argued as a right or left wing system at all?
 * Yes. The original "right-wing" were the supporters of feudalism in the revolutionary French Parliament. Compared to them, our present-day right-wing (the supporters of laissez-faire capitalism) were considered left. Therefore, feudalists would be Far Right by today's standards.


 * Parecon is a planned economy... but left or right wing?
 * Well... most supporters of Parecon say it is left-wing... and, for the record, it's not a planned economy (at least not in the usual sense).

--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 17:05, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Is Planned economy a left-wing system only? Coordinatorism is a type of a planned economy, and coordinatorism can exist in both righ and left wing variants, so it seems logical that planned economy is not only left-wing.
 * You are correct. Planned economy goes beyond left or right. And so does Market economy. They are very broad concepts.


 * And regarding "eco-capitalism", that's not an economic system in itself. It's not even a branch of capitalism. It is only a term describing the use of capitalist processes to achieve environmental goals (with more or less success).
