sankara speaks is p' good. collection of speeches and interviews so primary source, but the dude was a prolific speaker for the two or three years he was allowed to be. you can glean some analysis and biographical stuff from the interviews and speechs, policies and practices are clearly laid out multiple times. if you want a guide on how to piss off the imf/dgse/cia it's pretty good. it's also just a nice book, well edited, clearly translated, nice color plates in the middle, timelines and glossaries

Atrocious Joe posted:what is the prison industry though? Private prisons are only 8% of all state and federal penitentiaries. That's not to say that state-run prisons are free of profit making enterprises though. Inmates and their families are nickled and dimed for everything and even on calls and emails, so it is very expensive to be inside. The firms making the profits from these contractors end up being typical technology focused private equity firms or large service industry conglomerates like Aramark*. Basically the same firms that are in charge of the "normal" service economy. Service work is some of the least compensated and "skilled" outside the walls as well, so these firms actually face a contradiction when it comes to locking up more workers. Those are often the same workers they exploit on the outside as well.

not to dredge up the last page but  "international confidence" may be a completely bullshit thing but it's a bullshit thing that effects the movement of trillions of dollars

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:it was going up bigly when orange man was in, too not when he was trying to coup the office. instability's not good for business. regressing on an issue that everyone has been told is a big deal for half a century and which has also been effectively considered a settled issue is going to be a driver of instability.

StashAugustine posted:Does anyone have a book recommendation on, uh, the psychology of false consciousness? So, good news: there's a superlative book about not only that but more the bad is that you are going after somebody who knows their psychoanalysis and their Marxism. You know, that guy. him.  https://www.versobooks.com/books/348-the-sublime-object-of-ideology edit: fair warning, this is one of the Serious Zizek books in which he advances philosophy, so it has a loving lot to unpack. However I can't recall another book that elaborates so well on those themes and has a thorough Marxist bent coupled with a psychological focus (through psychoanalysis) dead gay comedy forums has issued a correction as of 07:27 on May 7, 2022 |

MLSM posted:
Any recommendations for a newbie? I've watched some very high level intro videos on idealism vs materialism, dialectics and dialectical materialism and historical materialism, contradiction and so forth, but I think I'm looking for good newbie books that apply these concepts very clearly and simply to more contemporary events and systems we have now. Hope this doesn't sound stupid.
