A People's History of the United States is the work that opened my eyes to the horrific history of capitalism, and opened the door to socialist theory. Happy birthday, Howard.

    I read this as a lib teenager and somehow didn’t understand that it was anti-capitalist. I thought it was just anti-American. On every single page Zinn is like: “rich people bad, workers good.” But I still didn’t get it. Great book though.
