Hee. Try the Doctorow, then, he avoids the need for recourse to Wikipedia by the sneaky ploy of having half his characters be under-educated Indian teenage girls, which means economists have good reason to explain things to them in words of one syllable. It manages to be extremely accessible and not too "As you know, Bob", which is quite a feat. I feel considerably more economically educated than I did before I read it, even on a three-hour semi-skim read.

I am personally rather weirded by the extent to which Damon is becoming likeable even though he's clearly a narcissistic, homicidal psychopath. Possibly the pretty is growing on me.
