A couple of books to keep you busy that I recommend:

Civilization The West and the Rest
https://www.amazon.com/Civiliz....ation-West-Rest-Nial

Empire How Britain Made the Modern World
https://www.amazon.com/Empire-....Britain-Made-Modern-

Americana A 400 year history of American Capitalism
https://www.amazon.com/America....na-400-Year-History-

I love Ferguson, but be prepared, his writing is extremely information dense.
