Red Markets?

I am finally getting to this holiday gift -- a tome of zombie apocalypse setting with an economics focus. I could have done with splitting the book into the rules and the hundred or so pages of game fiction. Yes, the fiction sets a tone, but I rarely want to run a setting out of the box.

The rules -- its interesting. The game is consciously about the economics of PCs on the brink of starvation fighting to build enough of a nest egg to retire to relatively safety and prosperity. Among other things, it has a negotiation mechanic that looks interesting for haggling and setting up what PCs will get paid for a job from the Mr. Johnson.

Anyone tried it?
