I may actually get one done. Political Zoo by Savage good you think?

No idea, I've never actually read/listened to any Savage for more than about five seconds or so. You were supposed to do the new Matt Ridley book anyway -- I want to see if he's out-Lomborged Lomborg.

Okay, I'll dust the book off and give it a shot.

Handy link for tracking when I am posting and all that [1]

Endorsement by Pinker, not too surprising. But James Watson? I guess he has gotten a bit wingnutty in recent times.

I'll try and get the prologue done by this evening, and maybe the first chapter as well, got to move stuff today.

I expect a line-by-line report drawing on at least twenty other sources (no more than two from the internet). Double-spaced, Times New Roman, 1-inch margins. On my desk by 5:00 PM, liberal scum!

Double spaced? You are so generous kind sir.

Also, check out David Graeber on the history of money as an antidote. Graeber isn't the first to notice that this narrative is just another flight of fantasy "state of nature" theory cooked up by some classical liberal philosophers and then imported into the equally fantastic neoclassical economic models, he's just the most recent.
