This is a weekly thread in which we read through books on and related to imperialism and geopolitics. Last week’s thread is here
The book we are currently reading through is Empire’s Workshop by Greg Grandin. There are two main editions, to my knowledge: the original one with a yellow cover from 2006, and an updated version from 2021 with an orange cover. I am reading the latter version.
Please comment or message me directly if you wish to be pinged for this group, or if you no longer wish to be pinged.
This week, we will be reading Chapter 10.
Next week, we will be reading Chapter 11.
Sorry this hasn’t gotten more engagement. My life got busy as fuck but I’ll be back on the audio version grind soon hopefully
It’s fine, I think a lot of people have gotten busy as fuck - including myself, though I’m also just consciously spending less time online for my mental and physical health.
It’s likely that we’ll take a more extended break after this, perhaps a couple months, both because the news is going to get pretty dire pretty soon I think and I probably won’t want to read general books and instead want to drill down into specifics, and also to give myself (and everybody else) time to properly recharge.
