I'm back in good health and should start posting serious theory discussions instead of talking about football all the time.

Post ideas here. Upbearing comments will be interprebeared as an expression of interest.

It would be good etiquette to mention the length of the book, as it's relevant to choosing.

There isn't one afaik but that's a good idea. To my memory we've done Debt: The First 5000 Years and Bullshit Jobs by graeber , How to Blow Up a Pipeline by Andreas Malm and there was an attempt to do The Wretched of the Earth by fanon but it didn't really seem like people knew that one was happening.

Ok we've got overlap there cool. How about The Dialectics of Dependency by Ruy Mauro Marini? The English translation is only a few years old.
