Best books?

But maybe you're not looking for a bitcoin book?

If you want something off the beaten path [Stuff and Money in the Time of the French Revolution](https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674975422) was recommended [here](https://stacker.news/items/823739/r/k00b?commentId=823808) (my next read about money when I get the itch). I also enjoyed [Debt - The First 5000 years](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt%3A_The_First_5%2C000_Years).
