Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed by James C. Scott

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book fundamentally changed how I view the world and state. As a high-modernist this was an essential and profound critique of my beliefs and I will think about this book for years to come. 

Other leftists, strong state advocates, and generally anthropologist-interested people should read this book.
