I plan to expand the definition of sustainable capitalism overall. Currently it is described as an idea limited to that of Al Gore and David Blood when really the concept is much greater than that. I think this limits the bounds of the concept and makes it seem too small. I plan to add more recent sources as to what sustainable capitalism could look like and how people could potentially work towards it. I plan to add different ideas that scholars have had about trying to morph capitalism to sustainable capitalism. During these additions, I'll make sure to keep to the rules of Wikipedia like remaining impartial. NPSHamilton (talk) 16:36, 14 February 2017 (UTC)NPSHamilton

I plan on removing the mass quote blocks - particularly in the heading/intro and criticisms sections. Also, I plan on adding to the heading/intro section. Partguypartshark (talk) 22:34, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

In the introduction portion of the article, there are some punctuation elements that need fixes (I would suggest using a lowercase "it" at the beginning of the quote describing the manifesto) and I would also make the article more clear by restating what the manifesto is calling for (I understand that it is sustainable capitalism, but it may be a good idea to reiterate).

Entropy and John Ikerd
Ikerd's paper isn't actually a criticism of sustainable capitalism. It is very explicitly arguing in favor of a sustainable capitalism built on top of a social consensus around certain ethics and values. The paper also isn't really about entropy. There is a great deal of rambling on the topic, but it doesn't really contribute to his conclusion that green ethics are necessary and sufficient for sustainability.

Ikerd would actually make a pretty good source to start on a "recent ideas" or "proponents' views" section. If we want to talk about entropy, we should find another source. Unless someone has a defense of the section as written, I'm going to delete it tomorrow and start writing a smaller section citing Ikerd as a proponent of sustainable capitalism.Tracemarsing (talk) 22:46, 18 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I think that needs to be removed. I believe Ikerd has some interesting points which may be added in other sections so keeping him as a source would be good.

I rewrote the section as promised. If anyone wants to copy-edit my paragraph, I'd appreciate it. I think the last sentence could probably be phrased better.Tracemarsing (talk) 22:44, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Critique: What Areas of Improvement I can Identify
Hey there! Speaking to the ones who are to be working on this article for the POL 150 course, I just wanted to mention what I thought would benefit the article. Of course, it is very possible that you already thought of the things I mention, so my apologies if this doesn't add much to what you are planning to do.

First of all, there are a couple places where there are direct quotations from references. Just thinking about what the training courses talked about, it would be smart to take the information that the quotes provide and put them into your own words.

Secondly, in the lead, it talks about ESG factors, but only the "E" is talked about in the article. Because the lead is suppose to illustrate/outline what the article is about (and also because it seems like important information to have), I think you guys should add in sections on social and governance factors.

Next, the Environmental section is awfully small. In this class, we had a whole week on how the environment is effected by capitalism, so it would be good to go off of that to add more to this section. Since this is all about sustainable capitalism, what practices should capitalism adopt so that it can uphold sustainability in the environment?

Finally, in sections like "Criticism", I think it would be a good idea to try and include more points of view on this idea of sustainable capitalism. StevenMadden (talk) 04:51, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

In response to critique

 * We have removed direct quotations
 * Titles have been updated to closer match the ESG factors
 * group editors have been assigned to each section to add more content
