Background material: economics for sf&f writers -- Jules
SF blogger James Nicoll has a post up asking about useful economics texts for science fiction and fantasy writers, from which I deduce that he has just read yet another example of why recommendations might be useful.

I suspect they may also be of use to some historical romance writers. There are some good "popular science" type books being recommended.
