I think there's a valid issue here, but there's a balance to be struck between:

* X as it occurs in one specific context
* X from the perspective of one viewpoint

So it would be legitimate to have an article on [[Economic
philosophies of the Something Party]] and one on [[Economic
philosophies of the Other Party]]; it would not be legitimate to have
an article on [[Economics (Somethingian)]] as a counter to [[Economics
(Otherian)]].

Where you draw the line, though, is quite tricky...
