American Politics: Promise of Disharmony👍 Recommends
…recommending historical analysis of american political reform cycles
“Another book I'd recommend is Sam Huntington's American Politics Promise of Disharmony, which is a historical look at these eras of reform in American politics and that we have this roughly 60-year cycle in which every 60 years or so Americans get really dissatisfied with their political institutions and they reform them.”

The Recognitions👍 Recommends
…recommending fiction novel about authenticity relevant to contemporary concerns
“And a final book, I'll recommend a book of fiction, The Recognitions by William Gaddis, which is a book about forgery and authenticity and originality. And, you know, in this era of AI and not knowing what's authentic and what's not, it really resonates. It's a long book. It's like one of these, like, you know, thousand-page postmodern books. But it really feels fresh, even though it was written in 1955.”

Why We're Polarized👍 Recommends
…referencing a book on american political polarization and partisan sorting
“I think I remember a book by a guy named Ezra Klein who wrote a book about this polarization thing that has been happening to America. Great book. Great book. It gets more relevant every day, unfortunately.”
