Naval Ravikant mentioned The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith 5 times

For example, instead of reading a business book, pick up Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations. Instead of reading a book on biology or evolution that’s written today, I would pick up Darwin’s Origin of the Species. Instead of reading a book on biotech right now that may be very advanced, I would just pick up The Eighth Day of Creation by Watson and Crick. Instead of reading advanced books on what cosmology and what Neil Degrasse Tyson and Stephen Hawking have been saying, you can pick up Richard Feynman’s Six Easy Pieces and start with basic physics.

Buy 50 books, closer to the source the better. I.e, Darwin, Plato, Adam Smith. Flip through until you find one that you like. Start there. https://t.co/QbMdgfbD5Y

@djay75 exactly - that's Adam Smith and Matt Ridley (Rational Optimist) right there...
