Twilight's Disciples Forum Recommended Political Reading

Here are some recommendations, but feel free to add a few of your own. If you like, include political magazines or journals which are of interest to you. By sharing these recommendations amongst ourselves, who knows what we might learn? Either way, it is sometimes interesting to consider alternative points of view! Well, here are a few to start with (I will gradually add further titles):-

The Quest for Cosmic Justice (by Thomas Sowell) is one of the best, possibly the best politically themed book I've read. Some such things are really just rhetoric and a repetition of what those who share the writer's ideology already know--TQfCJ is different. Sowell writes for Americans, but his points might be applicable to people outside the U.S. as well.

If anyone is interested in Mexican politics and the whos and whys of it ... Julio Schroeder Garcia's books.
