Economic planning vs economic intervention

Economic planning refers to activity undertaken by a state (or any other institution) that attempts to direct economic activity towards specific goals, either social / societal or economic in nature. Economic planning would consist of planned production or the directing of economic development and production.

Economic interventionism assumes that the economy is to be separated from the state, or from any form of directing, and therefore any activity taken to influence the market is seen as an intervention. Economic intervention would consist of influencing the market to attain different outcomes, without utilizing economic planning.

Because of these differences, I think both these concepts should have their own separate articles.--Battlecry (talk) 19:49, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did a small amount of research and could only find the term used by Libertarian (big-L) writers, only used in a derogatory form and with lots and lots of links to von Mises. So it's written as an explanation of a term used by a particular group in a particular way. I'm sure many will dive in :-) - David Gerard 23:21, Jan 20, 2004 (UTC)

Although when I checked 'links to this page' for interventionism, most of them didn't use it from this perspective. I suspect the article needs rewriting afresh if it's going to achieve NPOV. - David Gerard 23:48, Jan 20, 2004 (UTC)

I suspect you are right, Less von Miseserables notwithstanding. 'Tarians have been adding their spin so much, it would appear they were advertising themselves as the perfect breeding ground for giving rise to the new faction of simplistic socioeconomic (pathic?) know-it alls —destined for Beer Hall putsches and Dolchstosslegendes.-Ste|vertigo 14:47, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read Mises' papers on interventionism (e.g. the eminent book "Interventionism") to indulge in such an ad hominem bashing and lack of logic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.88.88.232 (talk) 12:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Synonyms

"Economic interventionism" is the same as "economic intervention," "economic planning," and "central planning." All the government interventioned mentioned in this article are examples of central planning. Correct me if I'm wrong. Note that economic planning directs here.

EI is NOT ubiquitous to Central Planning

Somebody fix this please, and don't forget to cite a source. 124.82.13.154 11:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Last few left/right edits

the point of the constantly edited text is that the policy is sometimes used by right-wing governments. the fact that it is used by left wing governments is just above that sentence. please leave it as "right-wing." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burningbend (talk • contribs) 17:02, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Left" - More precision needed?

Citing phrases [emphasis mine] "Many on the political left are inclined to support this agenda, ..." and "A minority of Marxists and those on the far left, ...." Might this language benefit from a bit more precision? Specifically, I refer to the contast between Friedrich Hayek's use of the terms "left" and "right" to distinguish interventionist/ statist (left, including Nazis) from interventionist-resistant (right, including supporters of free markets) and Murray Rothbard, who used the terms in the 1970s to distinguish between those like him who were "anti-establishment" (left, including libertarians) and those who supported the government (and its interventionism) who were "establishment" (right, including Russian Communists).

Effects

"Government officials tend to be naturally disposed to seek more power and authority, and the money that usually goes with those things, and this quest often takes the form of economic interventionism which they then seek to justify." Much as it pains me to say it (because I wholeheartedly agree with the statement!), this seems to be someone's opinion and markedly slanted against government officials who certainly must feel that they are guided by more positive motivations. Isn't the quoted statement inconsistent with WP:NPOV? SteveT (talk) 00:26, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recent mods by contributor Kingdelrosario

In an edit made 15 August, contributor Kingdelrosario has added a cite to an article entitled "Abenomics and the Generic Threat" authored by del Rosario, King. The URL to the article fails for me with a "server can't be found" error right now, so it is hard to tell for sure but this situation would seem to suggest that there may be a violation of Wikipedia's policy against using "Self-published sources". I would think that absent an acceptable explanation here by Kingdelrosario, the edit should be reversed. What do others here think? SteveT (talk) 04:50, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
