Like easily digestible critiques of NGOs or prison or something like that. Could also be of the liberal order in general but I don’t know if it’s too broad for a short essay.

    The new jim crow by Michelle Alexander might help. It's extremely thorough and well sourced, which libs love, but it's also lib friendly in that it doesn't explicitly say that capitalism is the reason that we have so many prisoners and that they're slaves (iirc, it's been a hot minute since I read it). It was a key book in my growth from a lib to a baby leftist

      Book looks interesting but I think they're past that point in their political journey. A book that centers capitalism as the problem would actually better. But for now we're gonna stick to shorter texts anyways.
