I don’t really know much about socialism, but I want to learn more. I also don’t really know what kind of book I’m looking for, but I’m not really looking to read Marx at this point and I also don’t want to read a pop economy book like Freakonomics. I want something a little more legit, or academic, I guess. I’m cool with classics, too, if there is a story out there that explores these themes.

Sorry if that’s not much to go by, I’m having trouble articulating what it is I want to read

The State and Revolution by Lenin comes to mind, unsure on how much economic you want, though.

I’ll definitely check it out! Unfortunately the only Russian literature I’ve read is The Brothers Karamazov (amazing) so it’d be good to explore more
