Best economics textbook if you truly want to understand capitalist economics.

Well, best may be a bit of a stretch (nothing can compete against Das Kapital in that regard imho) but it is still a pretty good read, especially to understand the extent of superexploitation and how far back in history it goes.

Good point, I am being subjective here. Open Veins really made "feel" the impact of capitalist economics.

Galeano is amazing at translating that. Btw, if you like Galeano's writing, the memory of fire trilogy is amazing so far. I am on vol 2.
