Well I guess Sovereign Individual and The Price of Tomorrow are the "usual" recommendations?

The latter is garbage no one will read in a decade

The Fourth Turning - William Strauss

Understanding Media - Marshal McLuhan

McLuhan studied media / technologies as a phenomenon and describes their behavior in a way that feels true. When he talks about a media becoming "overheated" it will often reverse it's characteristics - i.e easy money reaches it's extreme and a new form of ultra-hard money emerges ; )

How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. This book is so different from anything else and probably wouldn't get published in today's day and age.

For anyone looking at reading the book for free it can be read/borrowed from the Internet Archive.

There's many of the author's other books there too:

Many good recommendations, I chose this one

Thanks!

Thank you for the bounty. It's the one book I always pull out of my library every few years to reread because the book's words have different meanings as you age and life changes. Enjoy!

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (Maybe a controversial choice but it is worth revisiting)

Another vote for Price of Tomorrow by Jeff Booth.

This is on my summer reading list: https://theconsciousresistance.com/the-conscious-resistance-trilogy-2020/

Might not seem an obvious choice, but I find that understanding the progression from self to tribes/communities is a cornerstone of Bitcoin success as a tool of liberty and growth outside of the centralized tyrannical current system. ✊

The Crypto book is a great source of information, it was published well before BTC started and you'll find a lot of information related to Bitcoin.
