The Jungle is one of the major ones, absolutely check that one out. It actually accomplished a lot too, caused some heavier regulations in the food industry.

Dude, capitalism sucks because, like, people only care about money and won't give me things for free. What a bunch of consumerist sheep.
Christian Sullivan
It's not about a capitalism as a whole, but I would suggest one of the essays from "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" titled "E Unibus Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction" by David Foster Wallace.
As the title says, it is about TV. I know, who watches TV in 2017, but - Wallace writes more about human nature, supply and demand and mechanisms that TV uses to take advantage of its viewers. That is something that is easily transable (it that a correct word?) throught the time, because humans don't change as fast as technology (if ever).
The whole book is also a good introduction to D.F. Wallace if you are interested in Veeky Forums.
