Maybe also Give People Money by Annie Lowrey?
I hadn't heard of that one before, immediate TBR book!!!
It’s been a while since I read it but I rmb thinking YES YES THIS IS WHAT WE NEED. The world is so messed up and we need these perspectives, especially when there’s proof it works.
May I also suggest Genocide Bad by Sim Kern?
absolutely! I love Sim Kern's writing, I can't wait to read Genocide bad by them.
Previous to GB, I'd only read Depart, Depart! but will get around to The Free People's Village eventually.
Also can I just say I love the thought behind this list? The world is awful and this is what we need.
