Whats the best book to pair with this?
United States Reports vol 220~ onwards
>>25597372Be serious
>>25597359The Poetic Edda.
>>25597359Capitalism and schizophrenia on ungovernability.
>>25597451I don't have that I'm afraid
>>25597393Seriously- read supreme court rulings relating to the new deal legislation. I don't know of any commentaries for laymen concerning the rulings in particular but there's plenty of commentaries about the new deal in general. After the first dozen pages or so of op related it's highly relevant to regimentalizing governance- the new deal laid the foundation for the several incomprehensibly powerful executive branch departments/agencies which we see today (CIA, FBI/DOJ, DOD, FCC, etc). The next logical step is to see how your respective government embodied things described.
>>25597452Maybe Lukacs on Hegel? Althusser on surdetermination or Althussers sociologist mate who inspired the Khmer Rouge?
>>25597359Polanyi's The Great Transformation, Hoffer's The True Believer, Lasch's The Culture of Narcisissm.
>>25597359Without naming more of Scott's great work, another anthropologist of at least equal stature, David Graeber
>>25597818why do anthropologists always have these weird anti-state attitudes like if ur an anthropologist ur supposed to be researchin mfs without bias which means if a bunch of eople want to organize themselves in a state and create great wealth and technological innovation that's just their culture the same way if some tribe wants to wear leaves and eat bugs in the woods that's their culture. ur not supposed to judge.
>>25597818Good rec.
>>25597836>It's weird to know too much about stuff the king/emperor/oligarchy don't want you to say.>It's just weird. Stop being weird.>I like my anthropology to ridicule and caricature the PRIMITIVES they study. It's so much more comfy that way.Yeah, they got those too. They're the dumber ones.
>>25597818>The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differentlythere saved you a click
>>25597881That particular book is a collection of essays of course. Other similar inventive and positive conclusions inside.
>>25597489Where can I access these?
>>25597637I plan to read Hoffer but I think he addresses a different aspect of politics. Good lesser known works on crowd behavior would be appreciated too. I've already read Le Bon. Would like especially ones that flip the narrative that crowds are easily swayed maybe stuff that even puts forth the notion of the apathy and disinterest of crowds.
>>25598129I think Hoffer follows in a pretty simple and obvious way--the resulting outcry of metic practices being shorn from a community gives that community grounds to join mass movements promising them return or radical improvement.
>>25598172Anything you can throw my way on the recommendation I asked for too?
>>25598119The US Reports are not actually a very good source for casual observers. I skimmed a reference book (essential supreme court decisions) for cases in relation to the New Deal and relevant to topics covered in OP (property rights, the reach of the federal government, casualty of generalization etc). 1930-1950 is a highly referenced period of law defined by economic recovery from the great depression and WWII. It's such a pivitol period I'm convinced that the author above probably spent a lot of time thinking about these decisions and relevant legislation, growing up with heavy controversy surrounding it.>Ashwinder v Tennesse Valley Authority (1936)The government can operate in business (electricity generation)>Wickard v. Filburn (1942)Congress can regulate commerce isolated to a singular homestead. In particular, via an allotment for minimum price control. To do this, they took the first land census of sowed fields via photographs from airplanes.>Panama Refining Co. v Ryan (1935)The executive branch cannot regulate oil producers. In particular, via an allotment for minimum price control. Although there was a congressional delegation of power to Roosevelt's administration. >Yakus v United States (1944)Congress can legally set fixed maximum prices for goods.>Youngstown v Sawyer (1952)The president can seize all properties related to a specific industry for national defense.
