Kim Stanley Robinson especially in the Mars Trilogy but also in New York 2140 writes about economics within an sf context.
Oddly, enough, outside of Ursula LeGuin, I can’t recall a single sf writer who is familiar with Elinor Ostrom’s work on governing common pool resources sustainability, how to maintain the commons, even though she shared an economics Nobel Prize for her work.
I have also yet to find an sf writer who understands the ramifications of renewable energy and is interested in exploring the idea of what happens when nobody has to pay for fuel in order to have electricity and power.
