What are some books about capitalism that aren't retarded? I want genuine critiques that aren't just tranny copes.

all critiques against capitalism boil down to general observations about managing, allocating, and distributing resources. So any book about logistics will give you insights into capitalism and what can go wrong with it.

Pic related covers how capitalism produces an upper class who by necessity mutates into this rootless cosmopolitan identity in order to succeed in an increasingly globalized, anti-communal world. It also covers how the logic of capitalism and social liberalism go hand in hand to destroy entire ecosystems and local cultures/communities for the benefit of capital.

It all seems to boil down to that. Most critics will add a lot of flowery language but basically just talk about Monopoly, mostly because they're confused themselves about what they're talking about.
If you add the tiniest bit of welfare and reactive regulations by a government to the game it plays forever. If you account for reality a little bit more in the game as a model and start including less material factors like family ties and ideas then you're starting to account for the things that actually move people and motivate honest interactions.
