Sources

Source 5 (relating to the nobel prize in economics 2001) has a link that doesn't work anymore. I'd replace it myself but got stumped when I faced the wiki edit page. This link could do; (http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economics/laureates/2001/) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.210.195.90 (talk) 15:40, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with the image

Reasons why File:Balance_of_Power_Graph.jpg is a bad image for the lead of this article: 1) viewing the page with a blue-light filter, it's hard to read; 2) poor English: apostrophes are missing; 3) it illustrates balance, not asymmetry; 4) It's so abstract and schematic it doesn't help the reader understand how a market where the different participants have the same information functions well, or what an information asymmetry in a market is; 5) It seems to be a photograph of something which at least ought to be a screen-capture or better still an SVG.
