Would you recommend that usage guide to non-economists? I'm always open to advice on writing.

Stein on Writing. Fiction, non-fiction, don't matter. The guy was the senior editor at Voice of America and then ran his own imprint for 25 years. In between he helped take down McCarthy, apprenticed to Thornton Wilder, helped found The Actor's Studio and edited James Baldwin, Elia Kazan and Lionel Trilling.

It’s this little book. And I would read kb’s suggestion. I actually find the usage manual or style guide genre to be eminently readable and thought-provoking, so I can’t get enough of them.
