Re: [Wikimedia-l] 'Periodic Table of Economics': Mapping the Global Economy

Hi Alex, just curious - since you refer to yourself as an economist,
what institution(s) are you affiliated with?

And can you explain how writing Economy of X articles, no matter how
detailed, will solve the problem of uneven resource distribution
around the world?

 The goal of my project is create the *periodic table* for economics
 readable to laypersons. To my knowledge, no other economist has attempted
 to make a 'periodic table' for economics. I am using Wikipedia as a
 platform for this project to gain recognition.

 I demand that my project gets global attention. I cannot emphasize how
 important this is. The current political leadership has shown incapable of
 addressing our current problems. Change is needed. A new economic
 perspective is needed. This project will enable the voting public to
 clearly see the injustices of today's world economy.

 I feel morally responsible to stand on top of a mountain and yell for
 attention. My intentions are altruistic.  People are dying of starvation
 everyday and I will not shut up until they have food. We must build schools
 in developing countries with taxpayer money in rich countries. We have the
 power to fix a lot of the world's problems if we only allocated our
 resources properly.

 I have listed below draft article that I have been working on (not
 finished). Please check them out. I would love any help I can get.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] 'Periodic Table of Economics': Mapping the Global Economy

2013-06-18 Thread Alex Peek
I want to clarify that I am not a professional economist. I am a financial
economics major at Western Washington University.

These 'Economy of X'  are designed for laypersons to see the economic
reality of the world. I believe if the public were more informed on
economics, we would better chance solving world hunger.  Once this project
is finished, one will clearly see  that there are resources available to
solve most of societies problems. I believe that my project provides a very
strong argument for humanitarian organizations in the world.

This project is a fundamentally missing piece of the economic conversation.
