I mostly meant I'm interested in seeing the book myself to see how all this economic theory is presented in a fictional framework. It sounds like you're in agreement with a large part of Austrian Economics, which is definitely something with which I can get on board. :-) This is definitely a topic worthy of much more coverage than it receives by the news. I wish you all the best with the book and I hope you keep us posted.

Have you considered http://www.smashwords.com as an ebook retailer? The site is getting pretty popular on these boards because authors keep a larger percentage of their money than they would publishing through someone like Amazon and the site provides an array of popular formats sans DRM. I know that would be a popular decision around these parts, especially if you coupled that with a low price. If you really want to get it out there, you could always release it for free under the Creative Commons License. Your book would show up on a number of sites rather quickly, I'm sure. I understand why this isn't an appealing option for many authors, though. Publishing with Amazon isn't very popular because they take like 70% (I think that's what I read). It's something ridiculous. However, publishing with Amazon does give you a larger potential readership. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to put it both on Smashwords and Amazon (and any other site you desire).
