Delete[edit]

  1. Extra tiny, usourced stub about a market failure that Nathan Larson wrote years ago. The way he discribes moral hazard is completely different from any textbook I've ever seen. I just wrote what I consider to be a better version on the free market article, so nothing will be missed. We can redirect to that page too if you guys want. If someone really wants an article about the subject, I can write one article about asymmetric information tomorrow, but I feel like Wikipedia already covers the subject relatively well.

  1. While you're at it, you might want to look at Rational ignorance, a similar Larson-created stub Plutocow (talk) 05:03, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
    @Plutocow As far as I know, this stub seems to be more accurate under the framework of the public choiceWikipedia theory. Nonetheless, I still think we should delete it, not only because it was written by Larson and it is unsourced, but also because it seems to be a very minor public choice concept, Econlib and Investopedia don't even have pages for it. I also checked an introductory book I have on public choice and, at least according to the summary, it appears only twice. Maybe we could use an article about the whole Public choice theory, with its strenghts and limitations, but I'm not going to write it in the near future, so I'd say nuke this page on "rational ignorance".
