What people on Hacker News said
Das Kapital and GToEIM offer deeper insight in why our economy works the way it does, and I especially liked the contrast between the two books.
"Das Kapital" by Karl Marx is still the most accurate analysis of the causes of economic crises. His labour theory of value gets to the root of what's going on behind the smokescreen of market forces presented as fact in western Economics courses.
