This got me thinking... What book reviews/book summaries are arguably better than the book itself? For example, 80% of the value for 5% of the time. Tamara’s rec below is great. I’d also add Venkat’s treatment of Seeing Like a State: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-called-legibility/ …https://twitter.com/_TamaraWinter/status/1107814507399835648 …
it may be generally better to read the full book but i’m wondering about exceptions (and exceptionally good summaries) i also hope to read Democracy in America someday... :)
