Try "Naked Economics" by Charles Wheelan [1]. In my opinion, he does a good job of providing examples both of failed regulation and also situations where regulation is necessary and beneficial.

This might be it for economics. My understanding of how markets work has been growing exponentially bedtime to bedtime.

I recommend a book titled "naked economics" for all. It is a great book and a must read for a technologist to see "macro vectors" alongside the "technical vectors" that help for a sounder prediction of the future.
