The latest "heavy" book I read was recommended to me by BigDaddy. The Monster from Jekyll Island was a good read. It was heavily footnoted which lead me to give it more credence than I might have otherwise. While it is pretty heavy on the conspiracy theory side of things, it is still an interesting look at how the Federal Reserve came to be and some of the results of us going off the gold standard.
I picked it up because I have never had any college level economics courses and thought it would be good to know more about it. If anyone else has any recommendations of decent (not too heavy or it will just put me to sleep) books that deal with macro-economics, I would love to look into them.
