Austrian Economics Wiki:Call to Action/Voluntary Cooperation

2013-02-24T01:09:39Z

77.185.198.189: /* Pages */ Polishing links.

Please create and expand articles about voluntary (free market) ways of human cooperation, especially in domains where such a cooperation is disputed.

The ultimate goal: Create a solid introduction for anyone who is interested in the topic. Both sides of the discussion should be covered in good detail.

====Things to do:====
* Don't forget to check the Wikipedia pages for useful material.
* What would be a suitable category to group the topics into? Voluntary Cooperation? Alternatives to public goods? Privately supplied public goods?
* Should we also create pages for the public variations for each concept?
* Create a voluntary cooperation portal of some sort
* How to differentiate between [[private law]] and 'purely' private, contractual law?
* Some pages seem to do better with a title in plural (Public goods), esp. groupings of examples, as compared to the classic definitorial pages which should be in singular. Will need some consideration.
* Check the sources on the Talk page!
* '''What else?'''

====Done:====
* {{Tick}} <s>create [[Public Goods and Market Failures: A Critical Examination]], [[Free rider problem]], [[Market failure]]</s>
* (Hopefully) exhausted resources:
** {{Tick}} <s>Process [http://history.ua.edu/html/faculty/beitofromprivies.pdf this], a lot of material on infrastructure</s>
** {{Tick}} <s>Process [http://royhalliday.home.mindspring.com/History%20Limited.htm this page] for examples of topics and sources</s>
** {{Tick}} <s>Discovered even more resources [http://royhalliday.home.mindspring.com/bibhome.htm here]. Gods! So many!</s>
** {{Tick}} <s>Used [http://candlemind.com/projects/progclub/file/michael/getEducated.php?listID=15 this]; the other pages may still have something useful.</s>
** {{Tick}} <s>Make at least stubs for all major topics</s>
