The Origins of Totalitarianism
The General Theory (Keynes)
A People's History of the United States (Howard Zinn)
Main Currents of Marxism
Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism
No Logo + The Shock Doctrine (Disaster Capitalism)
Nickle and Dime
Security Analysis (A Classic in the Financial World)
Open Society and Its Enemies (Karl Popper)
