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
