The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

Consequences of Capitalism by Noam Chomsky and Marc Waterstone is pretty readable because it’s a series of lectures from a university course and both professors are pretty nonformal and laid back.
Another Now by Yanis Varoufakis is a novel where a scientist discovers a way to communicate to his other self in an alternate world where capitalism was dismantled after the 2008 financial collapse. While telling the story the author explains basically “this is how finance works in our world. This is how finance works in the alternative world”. So it’s informative.

“Nickel and Dimed” by Barbara Ehrenreich. It is America centered but I think it’s incredibly representative of any capitalist system.
