Article maintains neutrality throughout and is easily readable. I would suggest maybe adding a couple more images. However, over all, I do not think there are any major adjustments that need to be made. AHall08 (talk) 23:12, 28 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi 19jshi, the edits you've made look great! I think the article looks quite polished. I have just a few things you might want to consider moving forward:

I would change some of the wording in "An Open Letter to Economists" to make sure you stay 100% NPOV. To me, the phrases "pointed out" and "discusses how" indicate agreement with his arguments, when it might be better to simply refer to his statements as assertions or arguments. You can go with either my interpretation of NPOV or AHall08's since I think both make sense.
If you are interested in expanding the article in any way, you might be able to include a section on the various points he has argued in his publications. This is totally optional, and it is up to you whether you think this would improve the article or not.

Great job. MBJAnderson (talk) 02:57, 29 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
