I always enjoy these kinds of articles - "Could this radical new way of doing things ever succeed?" where the "radical new way" has a history going back to before the Reagan revolution. We're a really kind of unimaginative people when it comes to talking about how one arranges things in society.

- roughly 3y agoYes! Brilliant book. More folks should read it. I also really enjoyed “Against the Grain” and “Seeing Like a State” by James C Scott - both really dig into social narratives and the ways we talk about history and society.
- talldatethrow 3y agoI used to love cheeseboard. After covid, it's like they hate being there. They cut the days open down to 4 a week, short hours, and basically act like they're doing you a favor serving you. But not in a smug way, more like they're an unhappy slave. Ruined some of the charm of the place.
