Modular Economics

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

There are no reliable sources which refer to a concept called "Modular Economics". This appears to be a subtle advertisement for a company called Modular Economics, as evidenced by the external link provided at the bottom of the article. Even if it's not an advertisement, the term still doesn't exist in reliable sources. Snotty Wong  verbalize 22:12, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Only four hits on Google scholar for Modular Economics—four.  And not one of them is about modular economics.  The article seems corporate-buzzwordy, and the fact that it says that a particular corporation is the preferred source of this service makes it a rather clear advertisement.  The content of http://modulareconomics.org/ is off my bullshit meter, and I don't see it discussed at all based on a search for "Modular Economics" -wikipedia -modulareconomics.org.

 * Delete per nomination. Advertising and original research; Scholar and Books does not seem to know this as a specific term of art in this form, and all hits seem to be from chance conjunction of the two words.  I removed the link to the website.  They're encouraging their supporters to promote the use of the term on Facebook and such.  Looks like another "Zeitgeist Movement" to me. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:46, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
