Suggestions for the article[edit]

Clarify the relationship with Microeconomics[edit]

To quote Michael Carter, "Microeconomic analysis of institutions has found a secure place in the economics literature". [1].Olsson in 1999 made the case for institutional microeconomics. [2] I propose to add some material to link this over into the Engineering economics articles. Cheers Risk Engineer (talk) 15:38, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there no section on Walter Hamilton?[edit]

The article discusses how Hamilton set out the original concepts that defined Institutional economics in his 1919 paper on the subject.[3] Other than the reference in the lede, there is no other mention of Hamilton. I propose adding a paragraph on Hamilton before the material on John Commons who wrote about the topic in 1925. Cheers Risk Engineer (talk) 14:55, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source request[edit]

"The concept of conspicuous consumption was in direct contradiction to the neoclassical view that capitalism was efficient." - Is there a reputable source for that? If conspicious consumption generates lots of utility for the consuming individual not attainable otherwise, what is inefficient about it? Bests, --Trinitrix (talk) 15:02, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Awaiting source[edit]

"Some institutionalists see Karl Marx as belonging to the institutionalist tradition, because he described capitalism as a historically-bounded social system; other institutionalist economists[who?] disagree with Marx's definition of capitalism, instead seeing defining features such as markets, money and the private ownership of production as indeed evolving over time, but as a result of the purposive actions of individuals."
