The Road to Serfdom by Hayek. Except it's intrigued my interest in understanding neoliberalism, but I don't know any academically rigorous sources for it, and its not really talked about. The conservatives call it marxism even though it clearly isn't, and the "liberals" on the left refuse to name it what it is. It's made realize it borrows collectivist calls to action that intrinsically requires a higher ideal to make the people believe in it, but these higher ideals of community and country are dead in America. Neighbors won't piss on you to put out a fire in democrat strongholds (kek at california literally being on fire right now) and somehow democrats want us all to unite under "I'm not Trump".

Marx and all lefty related theory tbqh.
I like how absurd and surreal their analysis of capital gets each couple of decades, last one I've read was Mark Fisher and he really made me consider capital as the cause of mental illness.
I'm a very apolitical person despite all the theory I digest.
