I would start by reading a U.S. history book written before 1945. Authors were pretty open and honest about the reality of how this country was founded and run (and how the world works), without the political correctness censure.
LMAO totally agree. It always sucks when you’re reading and the author excessively virtue signals
Sir this is a Wendy’s
ECM or LevFin?
The ECM slides are going to be late again, I can feel it.
Niall Ferguson's the Ascent of Money. Surprised no one's suggested this already.
Personal favorites as of late have been by Daniel Lord Smail (neuroscience x history), David Blight (especially his Pulitzer winning biography of Frederick Douglass), Tim Snyder (THE guy out there for Eastern European history, really good reads in current context)
Blight's Race & Reunion is great, also have read Snyder's Black Earth and also Bloodlands and both are good.
I'm in the middle of "A People's History of the United States" (1492-Present) by Howard Zinn which has been pretty good
