Mishra, Pankaj

A sometimes dense, sometimes proactive collection of essays on current political ideologies. An optional purchase.

Donald Trump, Rousseau, Voltaire, Marx, Bakunin (and others), and the forces that animate their ideas are brilliantly synthesized in this explanation for what lies beneath the rage we see flashing across our television and computer screens. Highly recommended.
