I don't know anything about politics

[SNOWBALL]

Howard Zinn' A People's History of the United States for American History

Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman's Manufacturing Consent For understanding the media

Upside Down by Eduardo Galeano for learning about world poverty

Robert L Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers for learning about economic history and theory

Rousseau's The Social Contract for learning about the justification and purpose of government.

1st, before you read anything else, read the US Constitution. While some things there are vague, it is still the rules of governance for the US.

After that, read anything anyone else here suggests and always ask yourself if what you are reading fits into the framework of the Constitution.
