A review by richardiporter
The Republic by Plato

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

3.0

Who should read: Political scientists, historians

Diamonds in the rough here, though like wealth of nations there is a lot of rough. Best done on audiobook cranked up speed. 

This helped me better understand other books I was reading around the same time 
-Red rising series (clearly) 
-Stormlight archive (subtly) 
-Anatomy of Fascism 

Concepts:
History and political thought in general
Ayn Rand especially 
Eugenics generally 

Trouble spots:
Slavery
Sexism
This or that no in between
