Katarina Pistor appeared on The Ezra Klein Show to discuss the legal fictions and structures that generate wealth, inequality, and economic crises. During the closing segment of the episode, Pistor shared several book recommendations that informed her understanding of capitalism and finance. She recommended Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century, describing it as an essential and influential read. Pistor also recommended J. Adam Tooze's Crashed, noting that the data provided in the book served as ammunition for her own thinking regarding the legal structures underlying financial crises. Furthermore, she recommended Jonathan Levy's Ages of American Capitalism, pointing out that Levy was an author she quoted at the very beginning of her own work and praising his historical analysis of American economic development. Through these recommendations, Pistor directed listeners toward comprehensive studies of wealth distribution, financial panics, and the historical evolution of capitalist systems.
