“Identity politics” is everywhere, polarizing discourse from the campaign trail to the classroom. But the “identity politics” so compulsively referenced bears little resemblance to the concept as first introduced by the radical Black feminist Combahee River Collective. While the Collective articulated a political viewpoint grounded in their own position as Black lesbians with the explicit aim of building solidarity across lines of difference, “identity politics” is now frequently weaponized as a means of closing ranks around ever-narrower conceptions of group interests.

Great read
Revisado: 06-26-22
Brief, clear, effective communication that can resonate regardless of your ideological priors. Táíwò may be a Marxist, but his thoughts on elite capture cut across any ideological boundaries.

In The WEIRDest People in the World, Joseph Henrich draws on cutting-edge research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to explore these questions and more. He illuminates the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, and the profound impact these cultural transformations had on human psychology. Mapping these shifts through ancient history and late antiquity, Henrich reveals that the most fundamental institutions of kinship and marriage changed dramatically under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church.

Anthropologists….
Revisado: 06-14-22
More than a handful of fascinating insights and nuggets of information about humanity and cultural evolution drowned in methodology, jargon, and long side journeys into particular civilizations.
Anthropologists gonna anthropologists, I suppose

Ever since its first publication in 1992, The End of History and the Last Man has provoked controversy and debate. Francis Fukuyama's prescient analysis of religious fundamentalism, politics, scientific progress, ethical codes, and war is as essential for a world fighting fundamentalist terrorists as it was for the end of the Cold War. Now updated with a new afterword, The End of History and the Last Man is a modern classic.

Performance over substance
Revisado: 06-26-21
This audio performer just GOES FOR IT. It’s political philosophy; I mean, it’s going to be bland. But the content he puts into certain words, the accents when he speaks foreign languages, the flourish to more salient points. Expert level.
Though I hope the author signed off on the final copy, since a performance that good can influence the meaning and intent behind the words.

In this groundbreaking re-evaluation of American society, economics, and public policy, Oren Cass challenges our basic assumptions about what prosperity means and where it comes from to reveal how we lost our way. The good news is that we can still turn things around - if the nation’s proverbial elites are willing to put the American worker’s interests first. Which is more important, pristine air quality, or well-paying jobs that support families? Unfettered access to the cheapest labor in the world, or renewed investment in the employment of Americans?

Strawmen everywhere
Revisado: 05-23-21
This book deserves a great amount of credit for proposing solutions to the nations problems that cut against the grain of many conventional ideas currently permeating. But too often the description of the problem or the merits of opposing solutions are reduced to mere strawman arguments, not approaching anywhere beat the nuance and depth used to discuss his own ideas.
Worth a read for the chapters on wage supports and organized labor reform alone, but for all his dismissal of economic piety, much of what he offers is fairly rote conservative economic tenets.
