Does anyone have any book recommendations for explanations of the foundations of today’s institutions and the harm brought by industrial-era bureaucracy and centralization?

I really enjoy the book The Sovereign Individual because it predicted a LOT of the capabilities we see today. I started reading “Seeing Like A State” by James C. Scott, but I want to read more books that describe some of these foundations as well as where we might be headed.
