I just listened to War is a Racket by General Smedley D Butler. It's 40 minutes long and very insightful.

Bankers monetize the lives of soldiers to protect private investments. If they put a price on blood there's nothing they won't monetize.

Thanks for this recommendation, I'm going to give this a listen

There are several public domain readings of this book on YouTube for others who are interested
