Currently reading The End of the Megamachine by Fabian Scheidler. It covers the creation and development of money, states, and capitalism from ancient times to the present day. Very interesting and covers a wide range of topics, its a bit like a condensed version of 'Debt: The First 5,000 Years' and 'Long History of the 20th Century' in one book. Sometimes this is a downside though since I find myself wanting Scheidler to go into more detail but obviously that isn't practical when covering so much in one book.
