Condense and Cleanup???
Is there anyone else that feels this economics portal needs to be condensed and cleaned up? I think that many of the stand alone modules at this point would be much more useful as supplements to other books in the econ portal. Also, many of the book are drafts that never came along. There should at least one Featured ECON book and with so many books in this portal it prevents the proper texts for being expanded and turned into more quality books. Does anyone have any suggestions, I'd be glad to help out.

These are the books I feel are the most essential and just some of my thoughts --Mattseeger 2:33 25 January 2010 (CST)
 * Principles of Economics
 * Good Starting point
 * Needs Examples, restructuring
 * Remove more difficult material like ISLM
 * Macroeconomics
 * Also a good start with good structure just needs filling in
 * Microeconomics
 * Needs to be started from scratch the creator of principles discouraged edit this one
 * Econometric Theory
 * Very good outline and progresses in a well structured manner


 * I think Principles of Microeconomics is more comprehensive than Microeconomics currently, so I suggest merging these two books. LeoChiukl (discuss • contribs) 11:13, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

I agree. I'll volunteer whatever I can. Currently I'm focusing on Advanced Microeconomics, but I also plan on contributing to the Principles text. I'd like to be able to use the principles text as a secondary (perhaps primary) reference when I teach, depending upon its maturity. Jcress410 (discuss • contribs) 01:35, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I'd envision a single principles text, covering both micro and macro. Then two texts each for intermediate (advanced undergrad) and advanced (graduate) economics. Beyond that, the special topics books (the transportation econ book is thoroughly put together and well written) will advance at their respective paces. The 'micro' and 'macro' books need to be merged into principles and deleted.Jcress410 (discuss • contribs) 01:04, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
