The book explains the roles of technological advancement and inflation/deflation in creating scarcity/abundance in society

5. A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin: A Path Toward a More Just, Equitable, and Peaceful World - imo not necessarily the best book on the list, but a thorough exploration of the ways that, even apart from what economic theory tells us about sound money's contribution to societal prosperity, Bitcoin makes for a better world

8. The Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization - This tour de force dissects the myriad ways that our fiat-based monetary order has derailed and continues to derail progress in human civilization, leading instead to a world with shoddy science, cheap food devoid of nutrients, growth-at-all-costs corporations, and a population of high time preference debt slaves
