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.

I suppose the modern go-to is Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty.
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.
Big fan of Gary's Economics - he and Varoufakis got me thinking more about Neofeudalism.
And if anyone reading this hasn't done so, it is worth subscribing to Gary's Economics at least until we can get those channels off YouTube.
Until a few weeks ago I even paid for YouTube Premium, but I am with you that it should come down in the same bucket as all other US companies in the future (still living in cognitive dissonance with my love for Steam and GabeN, but have my well-fed GOG account already).
It would help the cause to document all the censorship that happens there in a structured way.
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.
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?
I read it with physics major level math and almost no background in economics and it was a great insight for me. You certainly need some knowledge of math, but other than that it's an introductory book so it's beginner friendly.

๐ณ๐ฑ 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.
