can someone recommend me some 21st century books on communism/capitalism

Amazingly eye opening read. We all already knew how disasters both natural and otherwise (9/11) get turned into catalysts for new legislation and business tactics by pushing through change when people are still to shocked to pay attention/shocked into thinking it's the right move.

But this goes really deep into that theory, giving amazing on-point examples and referencing the mentality of the "shock doctrine" all the way back to MK Ultra and studies on the human mind

I'm majoring in economics, so this is doubly interesting to me as it heavily covers a lot of capitalistic economic viewpoints and the actions that have been taken to realize their plans of a fully free market economy

My favorite part about the book is that I can't go 10 pages without the author exposing some fact, some historical truth or some perspective that makes me want to punch someone

200 pages in, heavily recommend this book

I just finished Feynman's "Six Easy Pieces", it's a really short book and a great introduction to physics.



And now I'm finally getting around to reading "Cosmos"... I haven't had time lately.
