I read How The World Works by Chomsky - it's a collection of his radio appearances and whatnot transcribed, so it's all nice n colloquial. I'm thinking Bullshit Jobs next, because apparently it's quite funny and easy to radicalize libs with, which to me at the moment feels more useful than dumping communist theory onto someone that'll write it off instantly because gommulism is when no iphone.
I’ve only read (part of) Washington Bullets, but I’ve heard several Vijay Prashad interviews lately and I think he’s fantastic; a grounded yet optimistic revolutionary. I’m definitely planning on Poorer Nations / Red Star Over the Third World / Darker Nations at some point, he has a pretty big catalogue of writing.
I found Washington Bullets extremely easy to read, so I’m thinking his other stuff will be as well (he’s said something along the lines that, his job is to smuggle knowledge out of academia and distribute it to the people, and I think his writing style is consistent with that)
Wow, nice and recent too. Defo putting it on the list.
