Anyone who has been following the debate around Softwar should definitely read @evoskuil’s excellent book: “Cryptoeconomics: Fundamental Principles of Bitcoin” It challenges a lot of widely held beliefs I don’t agree with all of it but it’s 👌

One year ago I was reading “The Lords of Easy Money” An eye-opening book from a unique perspective that helps unpack the social impact of easy US monetary policy and ZIRP over the last 30 years Highly recommended 👌

I would encourage you to read a 1999 book by David Spiro from Cornell University Press called "The Hidden Hand of American Hegemony" -- he exhaustively looks at the documents and argues compellingly that the petrodollar arrangement was not a market phenomenon but a political one

Your book Lords of Poverty is a masterpiece 👏 Sadly the situation with the Bank and the Fund is somehow even worse than when you wrote it in the first place 😢

The Mandibles is a great fiction work about this that draws on a lot of history

If you think 50 people can change Bitcoin, now would be a very good time for you to read The Blocksize War
