How Fascism Works
In "How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them," Jason Stanley provides a penetrating analysis of the mechanisms and tactics employed by fascist leaders to consolidate power and undermine democratic institutions.

The book serves as a sobering reminder of the fragility of democratic societies and the insidious ways in which fascist ideologies can take root and spread. Stanley's insightful examination encourages readers to critically assess political rhetoric and recognize the warning signs of fascist tendencies in order to safeguard democratic values.

The Tyranny of Merit: What’s Become of the Common Good?
In "The Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good," philosopher and political theorist Michael J. Sandel presents a compelling critique of the meritocratic ideals that have come to dominate contemporary societies. Sandel argues that the emphasis on meritocracy, the idea that social and economic rewards should be based on individual talent and effort, has led to a deepening divide between the winners and losers in our societies. The book explores how the rhetoric of meritocracy has contributed to a sense of superiority among the successful and a sense of humiliation among those who feel left behind. Sandel challenges the notion that success is solely a result of individual merit and calls for a reevaluation of our understanding of success, acknowledging the role of luck and social factors in shaping people's life outcomes.
