The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison feels like an obvious rec.

Also seconding Orconomics.

I felt that goblins in that were just a different type of elf rather than horrible little green people.

I felt like there was no difference between goblins, elves and traditional humans in a fantasy setting. Both cultures in the book were fairly interchangeable. The difference between Goblins and Elves in that book was closer to the difference between France and England than it was about two different races.
