"In the 1970s, Gilder worked as a spokesman for the liberal Republican Senator Charles McC. Mathias as anti-war protesters surrounded the capital, some eventually scaring Gilder out of his apartment." What? He never left his apartment before? This incident needs to be expanded to explain better what it means. ] 21:25, 22 February 2006 (UTC) |

"He helped found the ] with Bruce Chapman. The organization started as a moderate group which aimed to privatize and modernize Seattle's transit systems but it later became the leading think tank of the intelligent design movement," That's not the impression I get from the Disc. Ins. article about transit coming first. Maybe it's right tho'. These articles should be uniformized and checked for historical correctness. ] 21:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC) |

Very biased article. Almost completely negative and full of unproven criminal allegations. No mention of his classic work Wealth and Poverty, one of the most influential conservative books of the last century. Also, what is this "tried to learn how to write" nonsense. |

Communicates very little about who the person is, instead providing just gathered dirt and anecdotal crimes in the style of the SPLC or a typical "enemy's list" biographer. Pervasive jaundiced tone, e.g. summarizing the NYT Book Review letter as "expressing sympathy for supporters of Islamic Jihad against the West" -] 06:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC) |

Is the ''wikify'' template still needed? It was added in October 2006, but in its current state, the article has plenty of outgoing wiki links. ] 19:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC) |

== Important details == |
|
|
|
|
|
This article seems to be lacking a number of important details, like what Gilder majored in at Harvard (appears to probably have been Political Science), when and for how long he was in the Marines, and so on. This prevents the article from forming a cohesive biographical picture. ] 07:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC) |

I think it is incorrect to say that Gilder "pioneered" supply-side economics. Jude Wanniski doesn't mention Gilder at all in ''The Way The World Works'' (1978). What Gilder did was write ''Wealth and Poverty'' (1981). |
|
|
|
|
|
Gilder was not at the Laffer-curve lunch. Wanniski writes that the curve was drawn first by Laffer for "an aide to Gerald Ford." Bob Bartley in ''The Seven Fat Years'' writes that Wanniski claims it was drawn for Dick Cheney (the Ford aide), while Bob Mundell thinks that it was first drawn at Michael's (the hangout of the Wall Street Journal edit page crew in Manhattan). |

I'm going to correct the Supply-side economics paragraph unless someone can refute my research.] 13:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC) |
