== Giving undue weight to heterodox economics and pseudoeconomics ==

Since economics tend to be an issue mired in politics, pseudoeconomics are frequently invoked in political discourse and by many average people who discuss economic issues. On Wikipedia, the largest problem seems to be the promotiong of monetary crankery, by [[New World Order (conspiracy theory)|New World Order conspiracy theorists]] and [[Libertarianism|Libertarian]] supporters of [[Austrian School|Austrian economics]]. Several articles on monetary theory currently violate [[WP:FRINGE]]. However, occasionally radical Marxists also abuse Wikipedia in the same way. Because the average person is not educated in economics, they may not be aware of the fringe-status of Austrian and Marxist arguments when they are presented, or that may not recognize a certain argument as "Marxist" or "Austrian" when it is presented. However, articles related to criticism of [[John Maynard Keynes]] and [[Keynesian economics]] could use expansion...
