>>1043921i know that these seem like generic trite shit but ill list a few books that have aided my thinking in no order of importance past the first block of text
A people that shall dwell alone and its following two books: separation and its discontents, and the final book which youve likely heard about- The culture of critique. the concept of looking at "group evolutionary strategies" is absolutely fucking brilliant, its like a good piece of advice; it reveals so much more information than you think, and it consistently does so. it provides an invaluable lenses into human relationships and development(and under development as is the case with gypsies) its hard to concisely explain, but i think you should read the first book (a people that shall dwell alone) and then see if you dont find it wicked cool before you even get to the first chapter (the reprint has like ~100 pages or something before getting to the first chapter)
other books i recommend ill break down into categories. ill only include a few books in each section, these will be good introductions/ serve to make you more "well rounded" on the subjects or whatever
economics:
just study the austrian school, if you study that youll learn about all economic systems, and become economically literate (but thats all you should study econ for. studying econ for le politics is gay as fuck)
politics:
just read hoppe, which a lot of his work is free on
mises.org or whatever.
machiavelli is important you could read or learn about his shit.
leviathan was important to my political thought when i was 14 and i still use the shit i learned from it, but most people dislike it.
environmentalism:
ted k like the other anon said, its must read. if youre into environmentalism linkola is worth a read as well. jacques ellul goes with ted k if you want an actual philosopher to go with your hate of the industrial revolution
