Talk:Stuart Chase

message: Florence Kelley is identified as a Fabian Socialist. By that I take it to mean she is believed to be a member of the Fabian Society in Great Britain. Having read two books about the Fabian Society, I found no reference to her membership. She is of sufficient prominence that I would expect that if she were a member that fact would have been referenced. Lack of evidence is not adequate for me to insist she was not a member, or to alter the text. Is there a citation to her membership?
However, if she were so identified simply because it is believed she shared the views of he Fabian Society then the reference should be deleted. Identification should be based on membership or upon the subject's stated viewpoint. If she was not member, and she did not claim identification then the term should not be used. For example, if "Sam" said he favored a republican form of government, it would be incorrect to identify Sam as a Republican.

message: The contextless remark about Howard Scott and Technocracy seems pretty useless. Even well within Chase's lifetime these had become matters that few people remembered. Now, I imagine not one American in 100 would recognize either name. - Jmabel | Talk 02:17, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: FYI: On his website The Blaze  Glenn Beck links the Progressive views of Stuart Chase to current Progressive views (Saul Alinsky, the Clintons, US President Obama, and others on the American Left and the world Left).  This aspect may become something to include if it gains more publicity. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 05:14, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent visibility of "The Road We Are Traveling" and Stuart Chase (March 2012) 

message: The Wikipedia article on Stuart Chase is written by several authors. The article was originally written in October of the year 2005 and was later revised up until December of the year 2009. This article gives a very short summary on Stuart Chase’s life and some of his activism in society during the progressive era and his lifetime. Though the Wikipedia article gives some background and some information on the economist Stuart Chase, it is not a reliable source due to its poor writing and lack of information.
In an American National Biography article, The Oxford Companion to United States History written by Norman Silber, more information about Stuart Chase is revealed. This article elaborated on Stuart Chase’s life, all of his achievements, and influences on others and society. When comparing the American National Biography article and the Wikipedia article, it is obvious that the Wiki article is unreliable. What are missing in the Wikipedia article are details specifically on Chase’s activism, importance and impacts on society. For example, one of the key points in Chase’s life that the Wiki article fails to talk about is how he becomes part of the Food Administration of the Federal Trade Commission and the “Technical Alliance”. These events are important because they changed Chase’s career and views on what was happening in society in the 1920’s. Also, the Wikipedia article can incorporate more books that were written by Stuart Chase and then elaborate on why these books impacted the readers and society in general.
Also, the Wikipedia article is poorly organized and structured. This could be improved if all of the information would be placed in separate sections such as categories and sub categories and so on. For example, the first part/section or the introduction could be a brief summary of Stuart Chase’s life without adding too much detail, information or go into depth. Then the following part could be titled “early life” which would talk about Chase’s early life and life events before becoming a known economist; this part would give an explanation on how and why he came to be the important person he was. The following sections could be about Chase’s life as an economist and his influence on society. Another section could be Stuart Chase’s personal life, success as an economist, and his impacts in society after his death, which the article currently dose not contain. The importance of having the article in several categories is so that the information can be fully detailed and explained without making the article confusing and overwhelming and to try to avoid making all the information seem scattered around. 
The references used to form the Wikipedia article are mostly from books and some article. The most common book are, “The Road We Are Traveling” by Stuart Chase, “Tribute of the Technostructure: The Popular Economics of Stuart Chase” by Robert B Westbrook and a New York Times Article, “A New Deal” from November 1985. These sources are somewhat reliable because they are written by Stuart Chase himself and by other researchers. It could be improved if scholars who know more about Chase and/or the progressive era specifically the economist topic wrote the references. This could make the article more professional and useful.	
Most of this article lacks detail and information. Some of the information that’s is missing in the Stuart Chase Wikipedia Article is curtail because it is needed to understand his economist view on what was happening in his era. In conclusion, the Wikipedia Article of Stuart Chase is poorly written which makes the article unreliable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JulieGiron09 (talk • contribs) 01:44, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
