📚 Book of the Week: "Principles of Economics" (1871) by Carl Menger
Price: about 38,000 sats (0.00038000 BTC)

Why read this book:

- Original blueprint for understanding how money emerges naturally
- Essential foundation of Austrian Economics thinking
- Masterful explanation of subjective value theory & marginal utility
- Core text for understanding Bitcoin's monetary proposition

🎯 Pro tip: Follow this with "Layered Money" by @Nik_Bhatia to connect classical economics to Bitcoin's role in monetary evolution.
