Is there a good book on Economic and Finance History (as opposed to history of economics as a discipline). Stuff that looks into unemployment, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, and the policies and treaties that led to them? Maybe even regulatory history? It doesn't have to be global - a book on, say, 'Latin American debt crises in the 80s' or 'Kissinger and Saudi Treasury Bond purchases' would be just as interesting. I've read a lot of memoirs and commentaries on the GFC so I'm interested in history pre-GFC. There's lots of books that go into detail about that crisis and its aftermath, but there's not really the same body of work for pre-2000 events (except When Genius Failed). I have a History of the Federal Reserve (from 1913 to 1987), which is enormous and excellent. I don't mind dry academic works.

Does anyone have a recommendation for modern astronomy history that's actually about our backyard - the discovery of features of the solar system, and the engineering projects for Hubble, Curiosity, Apollo etc. I've read a lot of stuff that veers into the history of cosmology, or astronomy pre-20th Century - but not much about how the internal structure of the planets was worked out, the story of the rover missions, or the Voyagers or the ISS. I don't mind books that take a very narrow scope or whatever - books on a single mission, or the history of Martian studies. I know there's lots of books about the Apollo missions. I also don't mind anything technical - I like the historical notes in Carroll and Ostlie.
