Debunking Utopia: Exposing the Myth of Nordic Socialism by Nima Sanandaji
1.0
The book ia full of statements that are not supported by any citation or study. The book falls into the category of pure ideology which is clearly isn’t supported research or a deep historical account of the evolution of the Nordic countries.
It fails to consider the full importance of workers movements and the importance of the public sector (see the period after the WWs where inequality was lower).
It tries to justify the current situation as a “high taxes” problem without support of analysis.
Being a think tank writer, his style is based of large assumptions that sit well in your ear but lack of proper analysis.

Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty
5.0
The books is very well written and has an in-depth analysis of capital and wealth of the past centuries. The proposed political actions are a bit weak in their development and analysis.
The Accumulation of Capital by Rosa Luxemburg
4.0
Rosa as a very distinctive writing style that allows us to understand quickly the concepts at hand.
Her analysis of the blind spots of Marx’s enlarged production are on point. She brings imperialism as the missing demand for the capitalist way of production. Her analysis on militarism could be better as it is an important way to overcome the expanding need for new markets to flush out production.

Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution by Carl R Trueman
1.0
The book has an interesting start and rationale of how we got where we are as a society but the author’s religious positions are felt in the last chapters.
Transphobia and homophobia is never a good position to have and the authors position are even anti scientific in some parts.
This book represents the views of a butthurt religious man incapable of moving forward with the times
