"Goliath: The 100-year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy", by @matthewstoller. A struggle for power of epic proportion with a big cast of larger-than-life characters. It's like Game of Thrones except that more people die and it really happened.

It's somewhat lighter on dragons, but if you have ever wondered why we are in such a bad place economically and socially, this book has some history for you to consider. It doesn't have to be this fucked up.
