I couldn't make any sense of this because the possibility that Elizabeth Economy was the author's name never occurred to me. Is that her real name?

Ditto. Maybe it's the [common English female given name] [societal organization concept] schema, but it reminded me of a book that a fun early browser game was based off of, Jennifer Government.

Anyway, excited to read it, I'm getting the physical copy so it'll be a few days.

Her father was Dr. James Economy, materials scientist, UIUC; his father was Peter George Economy. Can't find anything before that.

I think it's the American equivalent of Lawless.

8 made me laugh.

Ancestry (no point in linking, it's totally paywalled) tells me that the surname Economy is an "Americanized form of Greek Economos 'steward', or of the patronymic form Economou." I have no idea of how to asseess this claim, since it's all Greek to me when it comes to Greek surnames.

13: sounds plausible. I've come across Greek people called Economou a few times.

Could we do a novel sometime? Maybe even something between fluff and middlebrow?
