Lead section Consists of mostly plot summary. The second paragraph, about reception and interpretation of the book, should be expanded.

Balanced out the lead better: [1] maclean (talk) 22:19, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Background It's initially a little confusing about whether Market Forces is a part of the trilogy. Perhaps the third installment could be named, stating that it is the Mr Morgan's fourth novel?

How's this? [2] maclean (talk) 22:19, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Style and themes the word "extrapolated" is repeated once too often.

The plot synopsis is a little too long.

Images low resolution book cover used in the infobox is the only illustration. Meets non-free content use guidelines, licence correctly filled out.

Neutrality the article contains criticism as well as praise and analysis. Good variety of references used.

This book is a piece of shit

I know it's not very NPOV, but seriously. The protagonist is irredeemable, the extrapolation of out-of-control free market capitalism is hamfisted (and I'm practically a communist). The prose is passable, I suppose is a fair thing to say. Fuck this book. 80.71.135.96 (talk) 18:35, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But, hold on. Why not tell us how you really feel?193.62.111.10 (talk) 12:35, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
