Slouching Towards Utopia: An Economic History of the Twentieth Century
Recommended by 2 people on the record.
It's a history of the last 150 years. There is lots in it that I absolutely love. It's very American. It's not American-focused, but it's a book an American would write. That's really important because America has made the world we live in. People in Europe and Britain don't want to accept that, but that's the reality. I mean that in every respect: culturally, economically, technologically, and so forth. The Industrial Revolution in Britain was incredibly important but since the late 19th century, everything has been dominated by America.
