What is the best book to orange pill someone?

My friends and I do a yearly reading challenge where each nominates a book and we have to read them all by the end of the year.

This year, I want to nominate a book that teaches about the monetary system and about #bitcoin. I am not allowed to nominate a book I have already read, so I am currently torn between nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9uju6mpd4czuumfw3jsswxj5g's Broken Money and The Mandibles.

My friends are smart, interested, and open to impressions, but have not gotten around to do the deep dive on the fiat system. Which should I nominate?

“21 Lessons” by nostr:nprofile1qqsxu35yyt0mwjjh8pcz4zprhxegz69t4wr9t74vk6zne58wzh0waycpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qghwaehxw309ashgmrpwvhxummnw3ezumrpdejz7xtf8w3 (in my case the translation by nostr:nprofile1qqsgux7hpatnu028eqacr00hm5paw9kncy7xmm3kahadaz077g9pg2cpzdmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82c30qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcreavau 🤘🏻) was maybe the third book about Bitcoin I had read, but definitely the first one that really spoke to me.

Approaching Bitcoin through economics or mathematics is interesting, but as a non-tech person I needed more of what I would now call the Bitcoin mindset.

The Lessons are the essence of both approaches. 🧡

Great suggestion, thanks!

#BrokenMoney in this case for sure. Mandibles is a great book but only outlines the problems we face from Fiat printing and doesn't provide many solutions.

Thanks!

Both are great books.

If you/they normally read fiction and don't will reject anything overtly Bitcoin, The Mandibles is a great subtle approach.

If the group normally read non-fiction - Broken Money is great. Same with The Bitcoin Standard.

Tangential - but if you're ever looking for Bitcoin Fiction - give us a shot.

I sent Broken Money to a couple of friends and whist they recognised how incredible it was, it was too dense/complex for them in the end and neither finished it. I’ve not read it but I’ve heard good things about “The Big Print”. I like “The Price of Tomorrow” as it’s kinda more of a technology book than a bitcoin book and in a way is like a soft introduction to Bitcoin.

Great point. They’ve done economics at university, so I’m hoping they can handle a challenge. At the same time, it might be more powerful to hammer down on the essence of the problem rather than theory…
