As an aid to that could you tell me just where you are in this ideological politics? I don't mean by that your current position so much as your background [albeit, if you can handle Realizing Freedom then you can probably handle just about anything].
Could you also tell me if you have any other similar interests. For instance, I've been exploring (2) the interaction of religions and religions/societies in ancient times and (2) fundamentalism as both a religious and ideological phenomenon, these past four or five years. Does that ring any bells of interest with you?
I also have a good background in economic theory, political economy and history of economic thought, if any of that is of interest to you.
See how desparate the former professor is to lecture... ;-)

If you want similar items that are much more advanced then check out survey articles in the now defunct Inquiry Magazine [which are probably available cheap through a source like Bookfinder.com]. Institute For Humane Studies at one time also published some outstanding study guides on various topics.
If you haven't already seen a copy, Tom Palmer's new volume entitled Realizing Freedom is also a great read. Palmer is the editor/author of the Guide you inquired about, but that was obviously one of his early efforts or was purposely toned down.
