India and China are dismissed with: "There were significant developments in political thinking in China and India during that period, but since they had little influence on that thread, they are conventionally omitted from courses and treatises on the history of economic thought, and are usually given separate treatment elsewhere." Why is it "economic thought" here while the overall title is "political thought"? Shouldn't there at least be links to [[Confucius]] and others, even if those articles are as yet unwritten and we do not treat those topics here?

: "Economic thought in the lede was a slip. It should, of course be "political thought". Thanks for picking that up. My intention is to follow the general academic practice of confining the treatment of the subject to developments that are relevant to the current state of world-wide political thought. That being so, I see no need to alter the title, or to involve Confucius. [[User:Nick Gardner|Nick Gardner]] 05:51, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Questions

Should this be retitled "Western political thought" or some such, since it deals only with that tradition?

India and China are dismissed with: "There were significant developments in political thinking in China and India during that period, but since they had little influence on that thread, they are conventionally omitted from courses and treatises on the history of economic thought, and are usually given separate treatment elsewhere." Why is it "economic thought" here while the overall title is "political thought"? Shouldn't there at least be links to Confucius and others, even if those articles are as yet unwritten and we do not treat those topics here? Sandy Harris 03:36, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
