Worth the reading Capital by Piketty?
Also general non fic recommendations

> If you don't know econ
It's a good intro, his explanations are pretty good and you'll have the benefit of learning from someone slightly out of the neoclassical mainstream without being too out there/ideological
> if you do know econ
The early bits might be a bit boring and I suspect you'll want to skip a lot of it, but the data he uses and the examples as well as his logic are worth delving into.

Piketty is to. He wants to do everything possible to save capitalism. He also has no comprehension of Marxism, thus why his conception of capital and profit is laughable.

Piketty isn't a Marxist. The wealth tax he advocates is present even in capitalist socieites.
