 * Google shows no relevant hits for +virtue +economics or "virtue theory" economics either. Delete unless someone can verify it actually exists. --Delirium 04:44, Nov 11, 2003 (UTC)
 * Delete. Same reasoning.  Daniel Quinlan 09:05, Nov 11, 2003 (UTC)
 * Google "Virtue of economics" (w/ quotes); mv to econ article [unless it's there]; delete otherwise reddi 19:24, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)
 * Delete, seems not relevant and incomprehensible. Maximus Rex 23:36, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's a valid concept in economics and I added two papers discussing it to the article . JamesDay 18:33, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)
 * Keep. James (or JamesDay??) has a point, although the articles is less than stub. -- Taku
 * Rename virtuous circle since the concept is not limited to economics. It is also used in management and marketing. mydogategodshat 01:10, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
 * This page already needs to be disambiguated. There are three different conceptions of virtue being used. The first external link uses Aristotelian virtue as a mediator between passion and reason in the construction of utility/consumption functions in an esoteric part of consumer behaviour theory related to decision making in addictive situations. The second external link is using virtue in the sense of a positive outcome (balance of payments surplus) that conflicts with long term regional growth and stability. The article uses the term in the more common sense of a virtuous cycle.mydogategodshat 01:55, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
 * Here is a good link to explain the use of the concept: http://william-king.www.drexel.edu/top/prin/txt/gro/gro21b.html - mydogategodshat 03:41, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
