These are not reliable sources. Most of them are self-published, and all were primary for the material they support. The reason this article has been a redirect for four years is because there is no discussion of this concept in the academic economic press. You're doing a great job of showing that this coverage still does not exist. Guy (help! - typo?) 23:29, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes, they absolutely are reliable sources. See WP:SELFSOURCE and WP:RSOPINION and WP:BLPSELFPUB.

That a source is "from a blog domain" or "a Libertarian think tank" does not justify removal. You may certainly make the argument that those references don't demonstrate notability (which I would disagree with), but they are still reliable sources for the facts they reference. I don't know where your vendetta against this article came from, but your repeated blanking of it while I'm editing it is causing me a lot of distress, so I'm logging off for a while. :( — Omegatron (talk) 00:21, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
