No. I would in particular recommend highly against Glasshouse, which again tries to do Big Ideas and fails utterly (unless you count Big Ideas With Extremely Large Holes in Them, Not to Mention Smug).
I did read the first book of the Merchant Princes (The Family Trade) which I found mildly entertaining, enough that I'll probably go and check out the second book someday, but definitely on the side I regard as fluff rather than serious (and thus wasn't particularly on the watch for plot holes, of which I'm sure there were plenty).
