Short at 144 pages + references, this is an essay + critical reactions + reactions to the reactions. A good audience would be anyone with a job with interest in history, economics, and labor. The pre-industrial egalitarian ideals and philosophy meeting the industrial revolution and the invention of the firm are covered quite a bit.
It would be interesting to compare the history and thought presented in this book with what happened in other regions that were not colonized by the UK.

An epic tale of freedom and slavery, love and war, and the potential futures of …
Pros: * Eco-utopians fighting (nonviolently of course) against Gilead in a Mad Max style post-apocalyptic world, it's a cliche, but done well. * Not a starry-eyed communist utopia where everyone gets along, the author makes sure to bring up that not everyone agrees with decisions made by community, and these decisions are hard in times of conflict * Many threaded story lets reader see different points of view
Cons: * There are so many sex scenes that it makes the pacing of the book confusing. It's like a lot of the characters are bonobos. The scenes aren't bodice-ripper style or particularly uncomfortable, there's just a lot of them * Lots of chi'i and accupressure (this might be a pro to some)

Thought this was going to be a book more about platforms than about economics, but it leaned more on the side of economics.
Short review of the modern internet age (which really isn't so long) and how platforms have grown, prospered, and become more efficient since the 90s.

A clear-eyed, sometimes painfully straightforward accounting of Chealsea Mannings life. Although everyone rewrites their past, you can feel the goal was to not hagiographise but rather an honest-as-possible accounting of the impacts of Don't Ask Don't Tell, the war on terror, and Mannings disillusion with the war.

I think these kind of books often come off badly. They feel self serving, they feel like history rewriting, they feel, well, bad. This was none of that. It felt earnest and honest, the thrashing around of growing up. I highly recommend it.
Wonderful book.
