While the book is thought provoking in some regards its fiction, also it doesn't really touch on the important parts of what does or doesn't make things work (largely because that wouldn't be entertaining). You may find the Wealth of Nations (1778) an interesting read as that goes into the importance of many factors that are not paid attention to today by most people (or even policy makers if you factor their actions in). It has some choice things to say about the indirect effects from the interference of labor relations which are historically backed. Make no mistake, the main reason we are where we are now is because of the consistent failures to address items that fall into that area.
