To use this template, copy the text above to the top of the biography.

  • Name, Birth and School/tradition are compulsory; other fields, if left blank, will not appear in the Infobox;
  • School/tradition should be selected from the subcategories in Category:Economists;
  • Entries in Influences, Opposed, Influenced, and Contributions should be explained in the main text of one of the articles. Those that are not mentioned in the main text may be deleted.
  • Birth use the template {{birth date and age}} if alive and {{birth date}} if dead.
  • Death use the template {{death date and age}} if dead.
  • Opposed refers to persons or schools whose ideas were opposed by this economist. Randall Collins (1998: 379-380) argues that the most important relationships in shaping the evolution of philosophies are "rivalrous" relationships, between opposing thinkers. There may well be overlap between Opposed and Influences (as, for example, Aristotle was both influenced by and opposed to Plato).

[edit] Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Date-of-birth ("bday") parameters will only be included in the microformat if {{Birth date}} or {{Birth date and age}} are used in the infobox.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • bday
  • county-name
  • fn (required)
  • honorific-prefix
  • honorific-suffix
  • label
  • locality
  • nickname
  • note
  • org
  • role
  • vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes.
