Debt by Graeber and The Origin of Capitalism by Ellen Meiksins-Wood
While I knew beforehand that I would love Debt, I'm especially proud of my progress in The Origin of Capitalism. I had been rather intimidated by it when I previewed a random page and found tons of technical sounding economics terms, but I feel like my brain is def getting bigger by persevering. Even though it's not written emotionally at all I still find myself getting so sad for my ancestors, who in my imagination were the peasants that protested the Enclosures, the violation of ~ancient rights~ to communal lands and to the ~means of subsistence~. As shown in Caliban and the Witch, the peasant masses understood very well that new social order or ~social property relations~ was bad for them.
