My little cousin is a pretty good kid who really loves history and is broadly familiar with US imperialism. He starts university this fall and is majoring in Mathematics and Economics -which is a cesspool of capitalist indoctrination. Are there any books that you'd recommend to send him that would push him to think more critically of the neoliberal indoctrination that he is likely to receive? I could obviously just give him Marx or Lenin but I was looking for something a little more subtle.

It's not like explicitly leftist leftist but Douglas Adams writing was pretty okay and I think it'd to a good job of introducing teens to question shit which is what you want.
