    Can we please mark/divide them in fiction vs non-fiction or, even better, give a professional title to the non-fiction ones?

    I don’t read fiction since 20 years now, but I am desperately looking for non-American takes on economy, technology and social issues.

      I suppose the modern go-to is Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty.

        Very interesting, thanks! I am a Gary’s Economics follower and reader, despite not living in the UK which is undoubtedly his focus, so this is really my kind of thing.

          Big fan of Gary’s Economics - he and Varoufakis got me thinking more about Neofeudalism.

          And if anyone reading this hasn’t done so, it is worth subscribing to Gary’s Economics at least until we can get those channels off YouTube.

        Technofeudalism, by Y Varoufakis. Greek economist and former minister of finance of Greece.

        His website draws together his articles and it is worth grabbing the RSS feed.

        Reading Technofeudalism right now. How approachable is the first title?

          I read it with physics major level math and almost no background in economics and it was a great insight for me. You certainly need some knowledge of math, but other than that it’s an introductory book so it’s beginner friendly.

        Yep, he is the first I ever added to this very short list of mine, and has been the only one for a while.
