A People's History of the United States

By Howard Zinn

5 stars

The best book on U.S. history ever. At last a book not written by and for upper class lawyers
The Shiralee

By D'Arcy Niland

5 stars

Aussie classic about living rough
The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company

By William Dalrymple

4 stars

Great insight with detail of the world's first - and possibly most evil - multinational corporation
A Month and a Day: A Detention Diary

By Ken saro-Wiwa

5 stars

Great insight into what happened to the Ogoni people of Nigeria written by one of the leaders of opposition ken Saro-Wiwa, who was executed for standing up against big oil.
23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism

By Ha-Joon Chang

5 stars

A cut the crap guide to economics that is readable, detailed and informative.
Prisoners of Geography

By Tim Marshall

3 stars

Interesting analysis of how Geography makes politics. Lacking in depth, however, and is very much through a European/US lens.
Sad Little Men

By Richard Beard

4 stars

Scary insight into public schools creating the elites of the UK and how stupid they really are
The Coming Storm

By Gabriel Gatehouse

3 stars

Good but lacking in detail
I'm Still Here

By Austin Channing Brown

3 stars

Good easy read about institutionalised racism and daily struggles being black in the USA
Free Speech

By Jacob Mchangama

4 stars

Great overview of the history of Free Speech, refreshingly not focused on Europe and the USA alone
Economics, a Short Guide for Everyone

By Jim Stanford

5 stars

Excellent overview of almost all economic ideas and history, simple to read and student friendly! Good to read just one chapter at a time then digest.
Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon

By Jorge Amado

4 stars

Great easy read about Brazil and the Cocoa trade
Balthazar's Odyssey

By Amin Maalouf

3 stars

Has some interesting insights and ideas about 17th century travel, not bad
Reservation Blues

By Sherman Alexie

4 stars

Good, but not with the impact of "Indian Killer" and his short stories. The only genuine indigenous writer I've found from the USA
Time for Socialism

By Thomas Piketty

4 stars

Great short dispatches about problems and solutions. An easy read, simple and brutally honest.
Trauma Industrial Complex

By Darren McGarvey

5 stars

Another Great read from McGarvey, cuts the crap and takes aim at the oversharing industry at Universities and the "wellness" industry. Brave and honest.
The Golden Road

By William Dalrymple

3 stars

Good but has some bias, very much from an English person who loves India but does not have a deep knowledge of countries like Myanmar
Bullshit Jobs

By David Graeber

4 stars

Cuts the crap about pointless work - great read

15 - 0 - 1
