Let's share some recommendations. First recommendation is The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy by Thomas Stanley and William Danko. Second recommendation is Disparities and Discrimination by Thomas Sowell.

Both are absolutely mind-blowing books that present a lot of data that challenge many preconceptions we have about wealth, disparities, etc.
