Thanks, I'll definitely look into Freakonomics. I agree it's pretty hard to find info on this topic from an academic perspective, and it's really unfortunate, as I believe it is important for the wider public to understand t

Does anyone know of a book (even better a textbook, if possible) detailing these strategies? This article is about the "BOGO" deal, I'm interested in reading about other kinds of these strategies, and why they work. If anyone

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Figes' books in general, but with a few searches I came up with a few reviews. The first, on the LRB, is quite positive, but the author, Geoffrey Wheatcroft does not seem to have, based on his

A People's Tragedy, while important as it has been widely read, is nowadays criticized quite heavily in the historiography of the Russian Revolution. Consider reading a few other books (like S.A. Smith's for a very recent one) if

Hey there! I'm not an historian or anything of that kind but I'm really interested about the Russian Revolution and I spent quite a few hours on finding the best books about it. My knowledge about those books mainly comes from r&#

I found this analysis by u/SoulDrivenOlives very interesting, so I thought that maybe here people would both find value in it and add in some of their thoughts. I recommend reading it all if you're interested in the recently displ

There are different examples of radical socialist societies in history, too bad all of them were oppressed by all too powerful neighbours. If you like Orwell, you might like reading "Homage to Catalonia", his experience fighting f
