    Everything by Thomas Sowell pretty much. Did you know he was once a marxist?

    At least "I" find his books accessible anyways. YMMV

    I guess, I would ask you what or where you are trying to get to since it's a yugely broad category. Personal finance, market finance, market economics, etc.

    Do you want to make money personally? Do you want to understand Wall Street? Do you want to understand economics? etc.

    Old interviews with great economists are also amazing as a resource in the digital age since often those interviews are aimed at laymen and not stuffy academic works.

    but irregardless, A Random Walk Down Wall Street will make you both hate finance but also make you marvel at the efficiency of a decentralized system.

    Got my woke on too.



    Warrior Cop was probably the better of the two, because it covered more. Some shocking stats on SWAT team usage. It triggered my libertarian sensibilities pretty good.

    I Can't Breathe, a story well-told. The way Eric Garner was killed is pretty fucked up.

    Recommend both.

    Taibbi is THE guy to read when it comes to the 2008 financial crisis. He was doing amazing work for Rolling Stone back then.
