| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Economics can be quite controversial but this seems a reasonably neutral start on an important topic. I'm not liking the link to the Internet Archive's "lending library". They are being sued for copyright violation and, in any case, the virtual book can only be borrowed by one reader at a time. If one of us has the loan then it's useless.

- @Andrew Davidson: Thank you for the review. Removed the link from IA, I didn't know it was controversial. I thought the one-page snippet can be seen without having to borrow (similar to the Google Books snippets). Anyway, removed now. I also tweaked the hooks a little, if it does not suffice, I would appreciate some pointer on what should be fixed/improved. HaEr48 (talk) 15:06, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the updates. I'll tick this as good to go. The wording of the hooks still seems somewhat awkward but I don't want to steal your thunder by re-writing them The hooks usually get copy-edited by others downstream so let's see how it goes. I'll keep the article on my watchlist and contribute as further points occur to me. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:04, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
