Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Newtonian time in economics
This article is |BS barely supported by the sources cited. |Perhaps it was not intended that way, but that's what it reads like. It's entirely based on one source, a book which has ''very'' bad reviews, e.g. http://mises.org/journals/rae/pdf/rae1_1_11.pdf (Words stemming from "confusion", "bewilder", and "mislead" abound in this review.) Further, most of the wikilinks are wrong, because as it's amply explained in that review, O'Driscoll & Rizzo do not use real time and similar concepts in any standard sense, but have their own implied definitions. E.g. "Remember, the authors' whole idea of "real time" is that the present is connected to the past by memory and to the future by anticipation." This is contrasted to "static (or Newtonian)" time by which they mean "time treated as an independent mathematical variable". And if that's not enough, they don't even define their counter-theory: "There is nothing in von Mises that says that decision making is preordained or predetermined by what went before. So what is "dynamic subjectivism"? No clear answer can be found in chapter 2, or in the rest of the book. The confusion does not stop there." Perhaps a '''NPOV''' article on ''the book'' may be worthwhile, making this notion (if we can call it that) a redirect. But extracting the snippets of that book in an article written in "Wikipedia's voice", never mind the unsupported introductory stuff (because it misses the codebook needed to parse the rest) is really promotional of crap squared (how's that for Maths envy?) or plain gibberish
