Thank you so much, Charles, for creating the article page.

Hello Charles. Would it be enough for now to make Capitalism As Power into a stub class? Janosabel (talk) 19:37, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Capital as Power

[edit]
Hello again. Charles, there is a review of Capital as Power here https://capitalaspower.com/2022/01/owen-lynch-book-review-capital-as-power/

Under WP:UGC, that review is unlikely to be accepted as a reliable source. I have found a review by Salvador Santino Regilme that will be useful. Charles Matthews (talk) 04:04, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good! Thank you. Janosabel (talk) 10:49, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What more should I do to make this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Janosabel/sandbox#Capital_As_Power%E2%80%94A_Study_of_Order_and_Creorder into a Stub class entry?

At present it reads like an essay. WP:TONE says that "Articles and other encyclopedic content should be written in a formal tone". Below that, under WP:PRONOUN, it says "Articles should not be written from a first- or second-person perspective." So when you write "I", there is a problem.
What I saw in the review was a reference to the Cambridge capital controversy. This is helpful background. If Capital as Power builds on some positions taken in that controversy, there should be a way to explain the argument of the book more simply.
