Not sure if they all fit entirely but:

  • The Story Of Stuff (Annie Leonard)
  • How The World Works (Noam Chomsky)
  • Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions (Dan Ariely)
  • The Hidden Brain (Shankar Vedantam) / Idiot Brain (Dean Burnett)
  • The Myth Of Choice (Kent Greenfield) / The Paradox Of Choice (Barry Schwartz)
  • The Free Will Delusion: How We Settled For The Illusion Of Morality (James B. Miles)
  • Getting Free: Creating An Association Of Democratic Autonomous Neighborhoods (James Herod)
  • The Best That Money Can't Buy (Jacque Fresco)
  • No Contest: The Case Against Competition (Alfie Kohn)

I've been meaning to start reading some Chomsky & Alfie Kohn! Both very revolutionary writers from the reviews I've been checking out

Predictably Irrational is really good.

I feel like I read Chomsky's books at a key point in my life where I didn't really get all of it but it primed me for later learning. Good list overall ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
