"Allocation of goods by purchasing power" section: neutrality disputed

The article section Purchasing power#Allocation of goods by purchasing power violates WP:NPOV policy. As such it removable at any time. The POV is unacknowledged and that of a class-conflict warrior, complete with persuasive definitions, a loaded example, terminology, and labelling of links. The whole point of the example seems drawn to condemn capitalism without even recognizing the role of that prices must play at least implicitly in any economy in which actors attempt to bound the effects of scarcity, as in the work of Enrico Barone and John Rawls among many others and the economic concept of a social welfare function in welfare economics. The unqualified championing of protectionist policies and agricultural subsidies would I believe make most economists of any political stripe cringe. Contrast this section with the work of Amartya Sen on some of the same subjects (famine and democracy etc.). --Thomasmeeks 14:08, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
