Talk:Spending wave

Economy and people
This important article seems to counter-balance demographic economics which covers the "application of economics to demography". Here we have the application of demography to economics. The current economic restructuring (and government responses) are clearly nostalgic for the growth scenario. Such unrealistic wishes ignor the human basis of economics. Other articles worth linking include population pyramid,dependency ratio and demographic window. Realistic views by national leaders are needed for realistic responses. Yes, WP editors, good articles can make a difference.Rgdboer (talk) 22:39, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

The title of this article, I believe, is incorrect. Dent popularized the "spending wave" theory, not the "age wave" theory (see, for example, Dent's website. He refers to the spending wave and makes no mention of "age wave." The age wave theory was developed and popularized by Ken Dychtwald, who wrote a book and founded a company of the same name. To be accurate, I suggest re-creating this article and creating a separate article under the name "spending wave." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikidkb (talk • contribs) 19:05, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Propose deletion
From wild enthusiasm for this article, as shown above, now it seems to just advertise for Harry S. Dent, who now is in WP and has his work covered in that article. As Wikidkb indicates, "Spending Wave" would be more accurate as an article title and fit with Dent's course (Class #4), but the article cannot be properly sourced. A second book The Great Bust Ahead (2002) is cited, but an encyclopedia article requires some substance. In WP the Category: "Demographic economics" has articles that take the place this one had. If an editor would like to nominate this article for "Proposed deletion", I would second.Rgdboer (talk) 22:26, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Agree with deletion
I agree this article is inaccurate and should be deleted, though I am not sure about the process to delete it. Alternatively, I could recommend corrections to at least make it accurate. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Wikidkb (talk) 18:28, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * After looking over the Talks we've had, it seemed the right thing to do is redeem the article by the more exact title you suggested. There's lots to do to tack down what is suggested so far. Since we started that Category:Demographic economics has formed, and writers may be able to fit this one in place. Note the Family economics article, which needs so much work, or Cost of raising a child which challenges writers for global perspective.Rgdboer (talk) 21:46, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree we should re-title the article "Spending Wave" since the current title is inaccurate. Do you know how to do this? Wikidkb (talk) 21:47, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
