THE INVISIBLE HEART An Economic Romance

Roberts combines a romance with discussions of economics, business, and regulation. Narrator Kirby Heyborne has his work cut out for him as he reads the verbal sparring between the two main characters, but he delivers. This audiobook conveys a great deal about economics in a fictionalized format, and sometimes the dialogue between protagonists Sam Gordon and Laura Silver sounds much like a college lecture. But as they're debating various questions such as the role of the government in the free market, the romantic tension between them builds, and Heyborne softens his voice to signal the change in direction. While this book is technically a work of fiction, it's more suited to those interested in business and economics, and Heyborne's reading reflects that focus.
