Yeah, these books really opened me up to seeing things in a perspective that makes sense:

The Sovereign Individual

For A New Liberty

The Ascent of Money

Human Action

Man, Economy and State

Generations

The Fourth Turning

The Immortality Key

A few a truly epic reads that go very deep and are a huge time investment, but totally worth it. I’d look into reading some Sowell as well for a good economic grounding in some basics.
