 My financial literacy is pretty poor and I want to improve. Seems like people rave about these books so maybe this is where I should start this year. https://image.nostr.build/9bc2c5615a217683ded64068f1d11aadf1e57f34a9166b393cddf2c8830b0f27.jpg

 Just got the Audible version of Lyn’s book. Not sure how many graphs etc. it has though so will so. I found The Bitcoin Standard a bit long winded and repetitive - but seems heresy to not love it ;-) 
 Great places to start 💪 
 The bitcoin standard was pretty good. It had some good information that was written away. That will stand the test of time and won’t age out too quickly.

I’m reading broken money now and it’s also very educational. Many of the terms that you hear people reference if you listen to macro podcasts are explained clearly in the book. I’m enjoying it. 
 Broken money is the best book I have read in years 
 These might be a bit advanced possibly, especially Lyn’s book.

This is a really good starter book that you can get free and knock over in 2 hours - https://mises.org/library/how-think-about-economy-primer 
 Broken Money is fantastic 

Would also recommend Lords of Easy Money for more on the Fed 

The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy https://a.co/d/9FWZPvu 
 Better buy them direct from @saifedean along with 4 more important books.

 Good choices. 
 Highly recommended. Though longer, it’s much more accessible than The Bitcoin Standard. 
 Bitcoin standard is a must read. Currently reading Broken Money and im liking it, about half ay through rn.
