Add The Big Short and The Great Mortality Books #104

Closed EGaddd closed 3 years ago

EGaddd commented 3 years ago

When it comes to preserving information and potentially rebuilding civilization, our lows can be equally if not more important than our highs. I added these two books as they detail huge, negative events to a large swath of human civilization, how we recovered from them, and how they could be avoided or minimized in the future.

This doesn't quite fit into the Tech Tree's remit, and both subjects should be more than adequately covered by the Wikipedia dump, so closing this (with some regret - they're good and important books; but there are far too many good and important books.)

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the confusion on my part. Agreed that there are too many good books!

Is there any other help needed with this repo in general? I love the archive program and would like to get involved with it, although it feels like I might be a little later to the party.
