- Had to give up on Red Enlightenment: On Socialism, Science and Spirituality for now.
- It's intensely and densely philosophical. A bit too much for me (especially when reading it in the middle of the night…)
- I still like the premise though, so maybe I'll just try and read the conclusion.
- Started on Talking to My Daughter About the Economy instead.
- Subtitle: A Brief History of Capitalism.
- Easier to read, that's for sure.
- I think some of his broad sweep of history of agriculture and surplus and economics might need a bit of fact-checking. c.f. The Dawn of Everything.
- Talks about Enclosure Movement. How Debt played a big role in genesis of capitalism.
