Honestly, I was more impressed with Stross' SF economics in the Merchant Princes books, but those seem not to have caught on as much.
I thought the banking system was developed entirely too little for the importance of its role in the book. What was the medium-money/fast-money split supposed to actually constitute? What
is medium money really? Slow money was fairly well covered, but slow money was a serious contender for primary character of the novel.
