- Achieving our Country
I haven’t yet read anything by Richard Rorty, and I think it’s about time. I feel like the anti-communist-left is a space that either evaporated entirely or doesn’t advertise itself effectively, and I’m curious to read more about it.
- Finite and Infinite Games
I skimmed part of this book a couple of years ago and think it’s probably time to give it a more thorough reading, with some accessory reviews to see why other people seem so fond of it.
- For the Love of Mike
I live in Chicago now, and Studs Terkel and Mike Royko were large voices in the city for a long time.
- Homelessness is a Housing Problem
I think this book will probably be a consolidation of stats that I’ve already seen, but I’m holding out hope that there will be some further historical analysis or global contex that will be new to me.
- Legal Systems Very Different from Ours
The more familiar I have become with the Common Law system, the more it seems like it could really use an update. This book seems like a great survey of lesser known alternatives.
- Making Mondragon
I’m hoping to get a better idea of why Mondragon has been so successful compared to other co-ops.
- Rationalism, Pluralism, and Freedom
I’ve like JT Levy’s shorter writings for a while, and it’s time I read his big book.
- Systems of Survival
A re-read. I really want to try to find someone to read this book with. I feel like the dialogue structure of the book lends itself well to prompting discussion.
- The Human Use of Human Beings
Beep Boop.
- The Quest for Community
A critique of individualism and it’s abuses. I think this one will be interesting to pair with RPF.
- Think Bayes
Last year I finally saw an explanation of what a random variable was and I’m so angry that no one ever told me that I’m relearning probability and stats.
- Why American’s Hate the Media
I don’t think journalism is working well right now, though I’m not sure exactly why that is. I’m seeking out books in the space, if you have any suggestions.
