Incredibly bad sourcing - expert needed

[edit]

Substantial portions of this article turn out to be sourced to, literally, undergraduate essays written by an intern at a heterodox economic think tank promoting fringe Austrian economics.

I could remove them - but large chunks of coverage from the early 20th century would disappear.

Do we have an expert who can look these over? - David Gerard (talk) 20:09, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I found the 2019 edit that added 50kb of text based, literally, on two undergraduate essays in a crank economics blog. I've reverted to the previous text. The article is way skimpier now, but at least it isn't being used to push a WP:FRINGE POV based on grossly unreliable sources - David Gerard (talk) 20:14, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
