Zeitgeist: Addendum kinda did that for me. But the book Voltaire's Bastards was the real lynchpin well before that. Even before that, back in the late eighties, I read a book about the history of money that I borrowed from the Devonport library that really shaped my views about finances and showed me what a farce it all is, but I can in no way remember the title or author.
A recent post on lemmy mentioned something called 'money dysphoria', and it really hit home.
