Best non-fiction books
What books do you deem so important that everybody should read? What could you recommend that both impressed you and is comprehensible for the general reader?

And why? - I may take your word for it, sometimes, but that may not be the case for everyone else. Nobody wants bad suggestions. If you could explain, even briefly, what impressed you about the book or the writer, that would be great.

No specialization-type books, neither, only something put in layman's terms.

Introductory books would be great, introductions to economics for example, or a certain theory of economics, or an explaining of how politics work, or a treatise on a philosopher's body of work, or other such thing that truly impressed you and may be important to know, overall.



I will be making a list of your suggestions, linking them to their wiki counterparts.
