Economics

I had a very difficult time rating these on a 5 smiles (down to 1 skull) scale; there are some fine distinctions that just are not displayed this way, and you might not recognize a couple of my favorite authors from these ratings. Unlike some other subject lists, in this one 2 smiles is still usually quite a positive rating, and 1 smile is still a smile.
