Books for beginners
Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2014 8:27 pm
Post books or other texts in whatever field or area you're formally or informally interested in (mechanics, taxes, business, US history, film criticism, whatever) that you'd recommend to someone seeking to learn more.
Since I'm interested in social theory and politics in Southern countries, I'd recommend Marxism and Literature by Raymond Williams, The Politics of the Governed by Partha Chatterjee and The Anti-Politics Machine by James Ferguson. Fairly clear and accessible, and the first offers a useful genealogy of basic concepts.
I'd personally like to see something on taxes and basic finance, since we seem to talk so much about how millenials are in debt and how to get out of it.
