Need some book recs! Nonfiction, into history and economics. Recent ones I enjoyed are Sleepwalkers—about lead up to WWI, The Nineties—about the 90s, and Capitalism, Alone—about how capitalism has taken over and it’s issues Any suggestions appreciated! 🥝📚

You might like Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, although more psychology than economics (but a fun read imo!)

I'm guessing you might've already read The Sovereign Individual? It's shocking how accurately it made predictions about tech and crypto from back in 1997. Also if you're into F1, How to Build a Car - Adrian Newey's autobiography is one of the best ones out there!

Fiasco and Cobra II are just reads for understanding how badly we (the US) screwed up in the invasion of Iraq and subsequent actions shortly after. Dereliction of Duty by HR McMaster is a great political read on Vietnam. The Brewer’s Tale by William Bostwick is a very fun read on history of beer.
