Chocolate Wars by Deborah Cadbury.

Ostensibly a history of the Cadbury chocolate company, it's actually a
history of "the corporation". Brings in ethics, war, slavery, religion
(esp. Quakers), colonialism, hucksters and humbuggery, dreamers and
drifters. I don't even like chocolate, but I got teary at the end.

It's a fun and easy read, but at the same time completely altered my
understanding of the moral implications of a debt society that has
forgotten what indebtedness means.
