For me it was “The Most Controversial Children’s Book in History” by Solar Sands, in which he analyzes The Giving Tree. It led me to think about my relationship with my parents, and about what kind of relationship I might have with my kids if I ever become a parent.
The one that I will probably never forget is Metropolis (2001): How Capitalism Produces Fascism by Chumpy.
It demonstrates and explains why authoritarians like Trump try to enrage the populace. That and it shows how capitalism inevitably creates fascism.
I probably won’t forget this till I bite the dust.
oh you’ll keep Erich Fromm - Escape From Freedom on your bedside table forever then
about how authoritarian characters are similar across governing systems and why. also exploring why capitalism brings such characters up as a default
Thanks for the recommendation!
I’ll definitely give that a read once I’ve some free time👍
