Talk:Nonmarket forces

Apparent original research moved from article
I've removed the following from the article, because it appears to be original research, or at least original synthesis promoting a point of view:


 * === Nonmarket's association with failures ===
 * All four perspectives on nonmarket deal with the failure of either societal integration, efficiency-oriented pure competition, under-or over-socialized economic action and of institutions themselves. Since they all fail, one should not assume that “nonmarket” government, civil society and culture stand unfailingly ready to correct the shortcomings of “market” institutions and organizations.

I'm not an economist, but to my untrained eye this looks like it's advocating market solutions over non-market solutions. If the sources quoted in the article do say that, this can be re-added with proper citation. Alternatively, it can be reworded to avoid the "one should not assume" phrasing (something like "Market economists [or whoever] caution that “nonmarket” government, civil society and culture are themselves subject to possible failure, and as such may be imperfect correctors of "market" institutions and organizations." would be OK, with a citation).

It's possible that I'm misinterpreting the tone here, but even if I am it would be better if this could be worded in a different way. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:58, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
