The Theory of Interstellar Finance
Now he can get advance copy of Charles Stross novels? Dammit, is there no power Krgthulu does not possess?
The theory of interstellar trade is a well-understood topic, with an extensive literature consisting of one paper (pdf) I wrote in 1978. Interstellar finance, however, is less well covered.
That’s all about to change, however. I’m reading an advance copy of Charlie Stross’s Neptune’s Brood. (Hey, I have connections!) And it is the best thing by far written on the subject to date, partly because it is, as far as I know, the only thing written on the subject to date.
It’s also a fantastic novel.
