Default Re: I don\'t know anything about politics

If you do want to read up on political/economic philosophy, just go to wikipedia and look up Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Rousseau, Paine, Machiavelli, Marx. I'd persoanlly also try to read up on Emmerson, Thoreau, Nietzsche, a few western Marxists (I like Marcuse). Then read up on Adam Smith, Keynes, Friedman, Ken Arrow, Paul Samualson.

You'll realize that it's impossible to understand politics and history without understanding social physchology, economics, some cultural anthropology, etc. etc.
