Although both massive undertakings (large reads) in retrospect I’d recommend Lyn Alden’s “broken money” before “the creature” for most normies that aren’t already extremely skeptical of centralized powers.

Her book is less psychologically jarring if you’re not there yet in ur skepticism.

I did it the opposite way cuz her book wasn’t written yet (when I tackled creature) but I was already deeply in a libertarian mindset
