suggest adding Hernando de Soto's "The Mystery of Capital" for reading list, re: establishing property rights and mortgage finance as core elements of functional capital formation in developing economies.

For people who'd like to read through some of this curriculum, I'm starting a book club on Fable (like Goodreads, but more social).

https://fable.co/club/network-school-book-club-with-mikael-553203332379

I've narrowed the list down to 28 books, two weeks each starting now, so it should align with the timeline of network school v2, which starts in 1 month. I'm open to other platforms or formats, Fable just happens to be the app I'm using to track my reading currently.

It's all good stuff, and already quite a lot, but it could use a crash course in business and especially contract law, basic corporate accounting and reading reports, details of negotiating VC deals, other funding sources including grants, debt, and network / decentralized finance. Publicity - how to, hiring publicists. Persusion - rhetorical recipes, dark arts (e.g. Tad James' *Hypnosis*.)

Trading an FX practice account gives a feel for markets and the nature of value as constantly doubtful and changing rather than steady and known, which is an antidote to much of the hubris of economic theory.

A great curriculum. I would be interested to build a bunch of online courses around that.

The very first book in Macro history called "Foundation" is it the science fiction series by Issac Asimov called Foundation?

It's hard to know which one is which since there aren't the names of the author's with the title of the book.
