You'll likely enjoy the book 'Progress and Poverty' by Henry George. His 'land theory of everything' predicted continued increasing rents, decreasing interest rates, low real wages, continued global population growth, the GFC, analysed the case of superintelligent AI, explained how free trade and immigration without tax reform would lead to backlash from working class, and that communist states would become tyrannical dictatorships - all in 1879.
