The ''Golden Mars scenario'' paragraph seem to fit better in [[Interplanetary commerce]] or [[Earth-Mars Trade]].

It's an example for financial strategy, and financial strategy is a crucial part of colonization strategy. No money, no colony. It may well be that finance should have its own article, summarized in this one. It's about far more than commerce and trade, it's about exploring what the finances of a colony would be like and how one designs a colony based on financial constraints (with the Golden Mars scenario just being an example of such financial constraints).
