A list of books that may appear to be progressive from the blurb, but in fact espouse pro-capitalist, neoliberal views. PLEASE POST YOUR RECS! -- Inspired by @Allana's review of "The Privatization of Everything". --

RAHHHH get em outta here 🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️
Right?!?!? Please post your recs, I know there are dozens more titles that should be here.
On Tyranny. For sure. See @crybabybea’s review 🙂↕️
Thank you for making this list! I will nominate Moral Ambition by Rutger Bregman, which is full of neoliberal effective altruism bullshit.
Thank you so much! It's added :)
How to Hide an Empire I think. Based off of this review and this review
Ooooh, good call! Definitely adding this one!
oooh i love this ill be keeping an eyeball!! on tyranny by tim snyder fits imo, its very much written to appeal to suburban middle class white obama liberals. he’s a great historian but that’s not his best or indicative of his historian prowess at all imo
Added, thanks for the rec!
Ooohh dodged a bullet on this one!
This is a great idea! Thank you!!
I'm happy to run this list for the community :) Please post any recs, I know there's dozens of titles that should be on here!
I will be cross referencing my reads on here for SURE. if anyone has any other similar nonfiction lists exposing other unsavory viewpoints please lmk!!
I found Fiction by Zionist Authors a while ago.
I'm sure there's a list of TERFy authors, but I haven't found it yet.
Please post any like-minded lists!
Immediately thinning my enormous Libby nonfiction tag with the help of this list thank yoouuu everyone 🙂↕️🫡
Glad we can help :) Post any recs if you have them!
so glad to see on tyranny here 😭
