Talk:Richard Cantillon

message: I changed the priority of the article to "high", given that I believe it fulfills the following standards,
: Subject is important but not vital to a lay person's overview of economics. Broad economic topics taught at the undergraduate college level are likely of high importance. This includes distinguished economists that may not be well-known outside the field.
It was previously rated at "mid", described as,
:     Subject fills in more minor details of economics, or adds a depth of understanding to the field. A practicing economist would find these subjects useful, but lay people would likely not.
Discerned from the content of the article, it's clear that Richard Cantillon is far more than a "minor detail of economics", and if it wasn't for the fact that Adam Smith blotted a previous tradition of economic thought, it might be the case that Cantillon could even be considered of "top" priority.  In any case, Richard Cantillon is very important—albeit not vital—to a lay person's overview of economics.  That Cantillon may have written the first complete treatise on economics, and that he is a runner for "father of political economy", is relatively important, and much more than a "minor detail".  Of course, Cantillon is a distinguished economist, despite not being known outside of his field. JonCatalán(Talk) 16:58, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Why the title in French "Essai sur la nature du commerce en général" become here "Essai Sur La Nature Du Commerce En Général" with those uppercases? 204.174.87.29 (talk) 20:42, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Following capitalization rules for titles.  There are, however, too many capital letters in the current presentation.  I've corrected it. JonCatalán(Talk) 20:52, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the "debtors" on the bottom line of the first paragraph read "creditors"; debtors are unlikely to pursue a man to whom they owe money.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Librarian16 (talk • contribs) 21:09, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, debtors is correct.  There isn't much information on Cantillon's life, but presumably it would be to kill the man to whom they owe large quantities of money. JonCatalán(Talk) 21:17, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I found it difficult to get a precise, accessible treatment of this term. The German Language Wikipedia has a dedicated article on this (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantillon-Effekt) which I translated in order to get what I needed.
Any views on translating the German article into the English Wikipedia?

message: This article mentions the term "specie" but never defines this term, and the Wikipedia article it is wikilinked to (Commodity money) also doesn't define "specie." Can we correct this situation by adding a few words defining "specie" the first time it appears in this article (since there appears to be no proper Wikipedia article about this subject)? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 01:32, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
