A social democrat friend who knows basically nothing about socialism and was a berniecrat is looking for book recommendations, what is a good book to recommend to him?

I sort of dived in the deep end when I first started (perhaps unproductively ) and I they're the type of person who would probably benefit a lot from nice prose and nothing SUPER heavy, but I also know a lot of intro books are full of BS that needs to be deprogrammed later(especially stuff that includes left-anticommunism) so I'm being cautious.

What would you recommend?

Considering the tremendous amounts of necessary mythbusting the rest of the book does that can be excused. It is an excellent book to the dispel the mythology that liberals and social democrats have unwittingly imbibed just by being born and raised in a western society.

That's fair.
