Not read too much about this guy but I would also recommend Francis Fukuyama's writings if you are interesting in the development of International Political Economy

> very accessible, its written in clear language, and mostly assumes no prior knowledge of the academic jargon
> very ambitious in scope, attempts a sort of synthesis of social science to explain how the modern forms of government came about, why there exists such differences between countries, etc
> weaves in an pretty good amount of relevant theories, approaches (all the biggest ones anyway) and cites a lot of research, so if any claim or subject interests you, you can go down that rabbit hole by looking at the citations

pretty long to read as it totals like 1400 pages across both volumes, but the individual chapters are decently self-contained and short, so its really not too bad
