Very interesting, thanks! I am a Gary’s Economics follower and reader, despite not living in the UK which is undoubtedly his focus, so this is really my kind of thing.

Can we please mark/divide them in fiction vs non-fiction or, even better, give a professional title to the non-fiction ones?
I don’t read fiction since 20 years now, but I am desperately looking for non-American takes on economy, technology and social issues.

Big fan of Gary’s Economics - he and Varoufakis got me thinking more about Neofeudalism.

Introduction to Econophysics, by R N Mantegna. Italian author published by Cambridge UK.
Technofeudalism, by Y Varoufakis. Greek economist and former minister of finance of Greece.
His website draws together his articles and it is worth grabbing the RSS feed.
Reading Technofeudalism right now. How approachable is the first title?

🇳🇱 Rutger Bregman comes to mind
Yep, he is the first I ever added to this very short list of mine, and has been the only one for a while.
