That book is one of the best books I have ever read. criminally undervalued for people trying to understand why the world is the way that it is. I talk extensively about Robert Moses in my newsletter, but as you might imagine it's hard to summarize a 1400 page book in a handful of emails, so I haven't quite figured out exactly how well the looping Robert Moses's story into the greater narrative I'm trying to convey. I would love your thoughts on the newsletter as you read through it! I just started rereading Jane jacobs's "the death and life of great American cities" I'm sure at some point I'll be looping it into the newsletter as well. I'm with you on the non pejorative anarchist philosophical thought. Not necessarily anything to do with anarchy, but more about the value generation of spontaneous, self-organized, responsive, iterative, goal-seeking behavior at an individual level. Have you heard of "The problem of political authority: the right course and the duty to obey" or "seeing like a state: why schemes to improve the human condition fail" as if you're reading list isn't already long enough, these might be worthwhile additions.
