Since classical economics, issues of comm have been highly relevant to economic ones. Neoclassical economics divided the human from the economic, and we need to re-suture that relationship. This division is a great step towards humanizing our economies.

Economics directly influences human relations and their patterns of communication, and we have a solid cohort of folks working in this crucial area. I am all for an NCA division and would be a member.

I highly approve of this new addition to the NCA lineup. We all know that money is rhetorical and markets are rhetorical. Hence, the rationale to study movements like the Occupy Wall Street Movement. I hope that you consider ECS as a viable track within the discipline of rhetoric.

The intersection of economics, communication, and society is an important lens through which to examine the material effects of communication. I strongly support this initiative to add a division devoted to the subject.

Wonderful idea - one needed in our Association given the number of folks interested in the arts and science - the cultural criticism and praxis - of economics and class. Please let me know how else I may help with this project.

For those interested in the rhetoric of science, this is a welcome development.
