- list all possible economic systems by name
- present all possible lists (cathegorisations) of economic systems

Rv/latest changes
[edit]Removed the others lists. If it is not right or left-wing, it is not to be mentioned in this list - please follow this simple rule. In case there is much confusion, we may have a list of some popular 'other' systems and explanations that they have both right and left wing variants (like coordinatorism and anarchy)
Rv/latest changes in the List by left-wing and right-wing:
- Anarchism is not left wing, it has both right and left wing variants, therefore they should be listed in their sections
- Anarchism, in its original form, was entirely left-wing. "Anarcho-capitalism" did not develop until the 1950's, and it is a branch of classical liberalism, not anarchism (despite the name).
- brought back Market economy to the right wing system list, it is one of the most important items there.
- Market economy is already mentioned in the first classification of systems. And, in any case, a market economy is not necessarily right-wing (think about market socialism, for example).
- removed Corporatism since it points to the same link as corporate capitalism ATM and the latter is better for the list

- Ok, I agree with that one. I didn't notice the redirect when I first made my changes.
Problematic systems for the left and right wing list
[edit]In the right-left wing list ATM, but can be important later.
- Feudalism - can it be argued as a right or left wing system at all?
- Yes. The original "right-wing" were the supporters of feudalism in the revolutionary French Parliament. Compared to them, our present-day right-wing (the supporters of laissez-faire capitalism) were considered left. Therefore, feudalists would be Far Right by today's standards.
- Parecon is a planned economy... but left or right wing?
- Well... most supporters of Parecon say it is left-wing... and, for the record, it's not a planned economy (at least not in the usual sense).
- Is Planned economy a left-wing system only? Coordinatorism is a type of a planned economy, and coordinatorism can exist in both righ and left wing variants, so it seems logical that planned economy is not only left-wing.

- You are correct. Planned economy goes beyond left or right. And so does Market economy. They are very broad concepts.
- And regarding "eco-capitalism", that's not an economic system in itself. It's not even a branch of capitalism. It is only a term describing the use of capitalist processes to achieve environmental goals (with more or less success).
