Krugman's Theory of Interstellar Trade

Latest comment: 1 month ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I happened to come across this article but was surprised that it didn't mention Paul Krugman's paper on The Theory of Interstellar Trade, which was the first thing I thought of when encountering this article. I found that mention of it was actually removed here by @Altenmann with the comment, "interest rates and securities are the issue of finance, not trade". I'm not sure I understand this justification, especially since interest rates and security pricing are key considerations in determining whether trade is worth it in the first place, which the paper describes. The same contributor also added a paragraph on tax implications here, which I don't see should be very much different in treatment, and in which the cited paper actually cites Krugman's paper as inspiration. For these reasons, should the paragraph on Krugman's paper be reintroduced? — Umofomia (talk) 19:00, 20 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

interest rates and security pricing are key considerations in determining whether trade is worth it in the first place - this is your opinion. The trade is worth if you can buy cheap and sell high. But this is beside the point. The justification is simple: finance and trade are different subjects and in Wikipedia we keep different subjects in different pages, unless a particular issue from one area is connected to anothe area in reliable sources. Anyway, I figured out how to incorporate Krugman's inside joke here. --Altenmann >talk 19:51, 20 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the consideration! Regarding the opinion though, my confusion was why the same treatment wasn't held for the paragraph and cited article on tax implications that was added in lieu. In any case, I suppose the point is moot since you restored the content in an agreeable way. — Umofomia (talk) 20:33, 22 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
