Having read all three books in the series, while not necessarily inherently critical of Big Government--one of the "protagonist" societies in the third book turns out to have a pretty totalitarian bent, up until the point at which they betray the protagonist--the books do provide an excellent illustration of the tendencies of power to corrupt.--[[User:Guitarsniper|Guitarsniper]] 00:36, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

Yes, but that is not the main part of the book. However, by associating big government to the atrocities the Capitol commits, then, yes, the book is critical of big government.[[User:JonM|JonM]] 21:49, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

The books are critical of a totalitarianist government and of facism, but not of big government in sense that the word is generally used. I imagine the characters would have loved "Spreading of the wealth" or government funding for healthcare. But that was just my reading of the plot [[User:AlexanderSz|AlexanderSz]] 23:13, 27 March 2012 (EDT)
