4.0

I picked this book up at a secondhand bookstore recently while I was shopping for specific political books. It looked interesting so I gave it a quick Google at saw it was on the Yale political science booklist. How could I go wrong? Even if I disagreed with points I’d still learn. I was right and reading this was a wonderful decision. This book provides powerful insight into liberal theory, the shortcomings of it and the necessary improvements. I would recommend this to anyone interested in politics, improving people’s lives through social justice or progressive thinkers (even conservatives if you like reading the other sides theory). I found it to be a short but dense (sometimes it was a bit of a grind) read that possessed many points I could easily summarize and take away from each chapter.
