editIIRC a theme in that book was the clash between industrializing, modernizing Mordor and the elves opposed to Mordor vision of progress? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:34, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- We'll need a secondary source for that. I've added a little bit based on the TLR article, and will add a primary snippet too. Maybe you can look over Slavic commentary on the book? Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:00, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Inclusion of section on real-world tourism
editGiven that this article is about the fictional, in-universe economy, having a section about real-world economics seems a little bit WP:COATRACKy. I've removed the section. Partofthemachine (talk) 02:18, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
