1. The Origin of Wealth by Eric D. Beinhocker

The Origin of Wealth applies evolutionary theory to the world of economics. It’s a complete reframe on classic evolutionary theory. It both tells the story of how the science of economics took a wrong turn and developed a set of theories that are impressively limited, if not completely wrong, as seen by their consistent inability to make accurate predictions. The book also takes you on a journey through the work that’s been done to develop the modern economic theories that currently encompass the field of “Complexity Economics”, the modern alternative to classic economic theory.
