Thoughts on production, alienation, and ideology
These are posts about books from the blog Base and Superstructure. Occasionally I’ll read a book worth talking about, and write some thoughts on it. These cover a wide range of topics from the blog.
I took a look at this month’s reading list and saw right away that it’s all about politics. I guess that’s not such a surprise for a political blog! But it’s actually not the case in most months. So, this month hits at the core issues we discuss here at the blog.
Read on, enjoy, and let me know what you’ve been reading lately!
Hello, and welcome to the second edition of the 2023 reading list series! It’s still winter in Iowa. And I’ve been reading a wide variety of things as of late. Only 4 books in this edition. But they cover everything from Roman history to the history of philosophy to American history to physics and race.
Enjoy, and let me know in the comments what you’ve been reading lately!
I said earlier that I listened to Mike Duncan‘s podcast The History of Rome. Along with the podcast, I also picked up quite a few books on Roman history.
Sure, I could have spread those books out in the blog’s monthly reading list posts. But what’s the fun in that? Instead, I thought I’d create a special list for books on Roman history.
Enjoy!
Welcome to the first reading list of 2023! The monthly posts are back, and this one will feature a couple of philosophical works. And even a bonus movie.
So, without further ado, let’s get on to the first reading list post of 2023. And let me know what you’re reading in this new year.
As I’m sure many readers know, I use the ‘corporate world’ tag on blog posts where I discuss the business world and its oddities. For those who don’t know, check out the tag at the right (and at the bottom of this post). Over the last few months, I’ve read quite a few books – mostly fiction! – that address business world themes. Mostly criticisms of that world.
So, I hope readers enjoy hearing about some of those books. Read on for some thoughts on them!
