I know you're not seriously saying it's worthless, but that attitude betrays your lack of a deeper grasp on political philosophy.

You can only understand such subjective and constantly shifting abstract concepts as 'political philosophy' by reading authors across different time periods, there simply is no alternative. And if someone is crunched for time, like OP is, then he will learn much more starting from the other end of the spectrum instead of only reading modern stuff, as you imply he should.

In any case, since I have little time and others are helping you out here, I will just leave a little advice, OP. If anyone recommends to you, in response to the question "give me some resources to be educated on politics," only a list of modern books written in the last 50 years, ignore everything they say. While there might be gems in recent history, the sheer preponderance of great historical works on the subject reveals whoever is talking to you is ignorant and not worth your time.
