There's nothing here... yet.
There really is nothing here. Really. You can trust me. But maybe there should be?
Why is this page missing? We asked some leading economists on this.
Stagflation
The cost of pages rose drastically, while the page production rate slowed down.
Monetarism
The government has limited the number of pages in circulation.
General economics
There was no market for it.
Efficient markets hypothesis
If you had paid enough for the page, it would have appeared.
Liquidity traps
We injected some extra money into the technology team but there was little or no interest so they simply kept it, thus failing to stimulate the page economy.
Moral hazard
Showing you this page would only encourage you to want more pages.
Pareto inefficiency
There exists another page that will make everyone better off without making anyone worse off.
Tragedy of the Commons
Everyone wanted to view this page, but no-one was willing to maintain it.
Supply and demand
Demand increased and a shortage occurred.
Game theory
By not viewing this page you help everyone else get better pages.
Classical economics
There is no such page. We are not going to interfere.
Mercantilism
The page is hosted by a foreign web server and is therefore banned to ensure the supremacy of our own software.
Keynesian economics
Aggregate demand for this page did not necessarily equal the productive capacity of the website.
Trickle-down
High taxes on content publishers prevented them hiring the person who would have written this page.
Malthusianism
Unchecked, exponential page growth outstripped the pixel supply. There was a catastrophe, and now the population is at a lower, more sustainable level.
Speculative bubble
The page never actually existed and was fundamentally impossible, but everyone bought into it in a frenzy and it's all now ending in tears.
Neo-malthusianism
To avoid unchecked, exponential page growth outstripping the pixel supply and leading to an inevitable catastrophe, we prevented this page from being conceived.
Socialism
If you were to get the page you wanted you might get a better page than someone else, which would be unfair. This way at least everyone gets the same.
Marxism
The failure of this page to load is a consequence of the inherent contradictions in the capitalist mode of production.
Behavioural economics
The influence of psychological factors caused you to act in a manner that would not be expected of a purely rational actor.
Laissez-faire capitalism
We know this page is needed, but we can't force anyone to make it.
Theory of the second best
The best outcome was unachievable, so you have arrived here instead.
