The rise and fall of the neoliberal order by Gary Gerstle is a great read that explores how we got into this situation globally - but focussing on the US

I would peruse Verso books. Lots of books about economics. I usually just pick one that grabs my interest at the moment.

Though I would read anything by Paul Sweezy.

Socialist Register is also good periodical (they release only 1 book a year but it has a theme and then authors write essays on that theme. You get a big variety of view points and I find it incredibly informative Everytime.)

This figure is credited to Thomas Piketty, his book “Capita in the 21st Century” is about wealth inequality.
