I don't speak much about politics (count that as the ills of fatalism), but I do read all kinds of books - especially those that meditate on power and motivation.
I just finished reading Ivan Krastev's "Is it tomorrow yet?"
It's a tiny small book (you can finish in about an hr), but it will teach you to think along political lines....especially in these grim times.
Rise of nationalism, rejection of science/data, information disavowal, disinformation disbursal, disruption of what is "local", what is it to be "political" trapped in your own room......
Fascinating. Worth a read. It might open up your thinking pathways. Did for me.
Brings my 2021 reading to 210 pages.
(Haha I am reading a little more than this partly sum, I am struggling to finish books.....so expect a flurry of books coming up soon).
