I just started the book The Nature of Value, and author Nick Gogerty mentions two other interesting books for the multidisciplinary thinker in the acknowledgements worth checking out, which he said provided him "a useful way of framing the 'why' of adaptive economic complexity as a process of thermodynamic and information flows":
1. Into the Cool: Energy Flow, Thermodynamics, and Life
2. Cosmic Evolution: The Rise of Complexity in Nature
