Talk:economic need

RFV discussion: May–November 2022
Was added as Economic Needs, I applied standard formatting and moved it. Seems pretty poorly written tbh but I decided to bring it here to see what people say and whether they think it's SoP or not. User: The Ice Mage talk to meh 15:44, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm sure we could find economic need being used in many ways, including even in accordance with the dreadful definition given. But I strongly suspect that those uses will be SoP, reflecting various definitions of the component terms. DCDuring (talk) 17:59, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I don’t see any sense of that would make this SOP.  --Lambiam 14:14, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Maybe there is a sense (or multiple senses) missing. I can think of other phrases that use the word economic to refer to one's personal resource situation and not that of the whole economy. Btw, I think the definition on is confus(ed|ing). For example, it seems like quite a stretch to put "loving relationship" as an example, but I could be missing something. 98.170.164.88 16:59, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
 * In any event, we need citations that unambiguously support this definition or a reworded one in the same spirit. DCDuring (talk) 22:51, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Economics is an intellectually imperialistic field. Utility theory could apply to anything that humans want including "friendship,loving relationship, community services and workplace relations". If anything "economic need" is a pleonasm: all needs are subject to economic laws and reasoning. DCDuring (talk) 22:56, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
