The Divide is all about the historical and current reasons for the gap between the first and third world, goes into how the Global South develops the imperial core countries and how they are prevented from escaping that trap. It's a short and easy read and also goes into how the Neoliberal proclamations of poverty reduction are all hot air.
People's Republic of Walmart is also a short and easy read, and goes into how centrally planned most of the economy is even in the US, and how extensive it is in companies like Walmart and Amazon.
The New Jim Crow talks about the systemic racism in our prison system and how even more entrenched it is than Jim Crow in the past because of how difficult it is to even advocate for basic prison reforms because of how politically toxic it is to show even the smallest compassion for the plight of prisoners or ex-cons.
The Jakarta Method is about the slaughter of over a million communists in Indonesia under General Suharto and how the CIA was closely involved with the entire thing. It's completely heartbreaking and a perfect book to show how America has never cared about human rights and how communists are never allowed to just exist peacefully.
