So refreshing to read something from a leftist author that assumes the reader has no priors; assumes they’re not idiots; refrains from obfuscation via reference or equivocation; isn’t necessarily trying to sell something.

Helped me with some important distinctions with regard to property vs wealth and elucidated the American constitution’s role in property protection.

Not a fun read; it’s a textbook after all. ( )
