I want some books on the monetary system, its history, its current status and its influence in western society.
I want books that provide names of the people involved, books that explain the financial instruments used, how the system can be used and has been used.
I want the literature to be not only popular reads (although I'd appreciate this as well i.e The creature from jekyll island) but also technical books, perhaps from academic circles or close to it.

Are you one of those in current power, and want a list of books to ban?
you might like Ezra Pound, a lot the Cantos are about this, with Confucius and John Adams thrown in (he loved those guys)

No, I'm one of the good guys.

Not sure, will look into it.
I'm missing a handful of books or articles explaining financial instruments e.g derivatives etc. Preferably with mathematics & statistics involved.
I need some auto-/biographies where the people involved have gained, rigged or used the financial system.
I need some author's who come from or has been in academic institutions, think tanks or the like (for authoritative sourcing).
Thanks so far, keep posting.
check out Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen
If you want to really understand how modern banking works look into Modern Monetary Theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_Theory
These are some classics chartalist works on money:

You confuse advocacy with empirical description. Half those authors you posted don't even have a basic level of understanding of how the real world monetary/banking system today functions (especially pure charlatans like Murray Rothbard). Modern Monetary Theory is the only school of thought today that's actually trying to empirically understand how the real world works.
You can't understand how it is without working within the system.

Bogleheads has a really good reading list. Even if you are an index fund hater (I am starting to see property as more viable) its hard to ignore it

Also All the Devils Are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis by Bethany McLean is a great albeit cynical take on modern banking.

I'm well versed with IQ and the Wealth of Nations and the evolutionary biology that surrounds it, but these author's do not deal with the theory of banking or how the monetary system works - they are evolutionary biologists.
>>8258675
I think this is more in line of what I'm looking for.
>>8258707
This looks good.
I do miss the mathematics (looking briefly into the books that's been mentioned) in the literature though.
Keep em coming
