Polanyi’s The Great Transformation. It’s in a good sweet spot of, not too long, but not too short, writing isn’t obtuse but efficient, and for a budding leftist it lays out a strong counter argument to the liberal propaganda of capitalism and market societies being “human nature, arising naturally and not out of any state agency.”
