    Interesting books that will give me a overall better understand of the world or just america. Looking to build my understanding of economics, politics, culture, etc. I know that is a broad question but man I am a young adult man that feels like he should know more about these things

    I read sapiens which was very good and some malcom gladwell books

      Ronald Brownstein’s The Second Civil War is the most insightful thing I’ve read about American politics. It covers a bit more than a century. It is not light reading.
