Book recommendations on how inequality evolved and worsened in modern politics?
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for book recommendations that explore how inequality has deepened in modern political systems. whether from a philosophical, historical, or economic perspective.
*What is antiracism and why it means anticapitalism* by Arun Kundnani
*The Jakarta method* by Vincent Bevins
*Washington bullets* by Vijay Prashad
*Liberalism* by Domenico Losurdo
All great histories of specific people doing specific things to make themselves and their friends richer at the expense of the rest of the planet.

Not quite the focal point of those books I think, but the German author Rebekka Endler has a book called “WITCHES, BITCHES, It-GIRLS – How Patriarchal Myths Shape Us Today” which does recurringly explore the concept of “the private is political” she also has another book which apparently was translated into a few languages, but not English (?). There is also a book called “The creation of patriarchy” I haven’t read that one, but if it’s any good, I assume as with any informational piece that takes apart patriarchy it does give some insight into how the gender inequality screws us all today.
