I'd recommend Debt. It made me rethink a lot of what I "knew" about money and economics.
Bullshit Jobs is also interesting, but it's a much lighter, much more "pop" book.
I haven't read this one yet to know if it's on the same level as Debt, but the reviews so far have suggested it is.
- thundergolfer 5y agoDebt is incredible, and I don't use that work lightly. For me I came away not with answers, but feeling like I could for the first time actually think about its big issues (money, economics, morality, community).
- f0e4c2f7 5y agoI enjoy Graeber's work including Debt: a 5000 year history, but I know that feeling you mean of the book leaving you with more questions than answers. If you haven't read it you might enjoy Capital in the 21st Century by Thomas Piketty as an interesting follow up to it.
- thundergolfer 5y agoI've got a copy of that one, but I find it's a more intimidating and taxing read than Debt. I do mean to get through it though.
