It's actually tame by the standards of this sub probably, but the book What Money Can't Buy by philosopher Michael Sandel really gave definition to my ideas about the commodification of every part of our life under capitalism, and how corporations and the derived values encroach upon what makes life worth living. Probably perfect for someone getting introduced to generally left thought and it's an easy read.
Profit incentive is not a panacea and it's introduction into all aspects of life can be corrosive to society. If you get the time, What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets is an insightful read.
