Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays

David Foster Wallace

Will Harahan

Every Shadi Hamid piece is a reconfiguration of David Foster Wallace’s Consider the Lobster but for various conservative apparatchiks. He weaponizes the self-doubt of affluent liberals who refuse to register as Democrats because they don’t want to be held down. https://t.co/f6NcW7HGdO

Ill Fares the Land

Tony Judt

Will Harahan

It’s always fun to spot someone reading a book you’ve read on a tv show, but I didn’t expect to see the late Tony Judt’s Ill Fares the Land on #OzarkNetflix https://t.co/5kr4kMMpCp

Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream

Ross Douthat

Will Harahan

@SamAdlerBell @DavidAstinWalsh I really think a deep dive into the Manhattan Institute might be worthwhile. Presided over by Douthat co-author of Grand New Party Reihan Salam, & Heather MacDonald’s War on Cops, in addition to Rufo. It’s ground zero for GOP agitprop.

Panic at the Pump: The Energy Crisis and the Transformation of American Politics in the 1970s

Meg Jacobs

Will Harahan

One of the most fascinating things about this economic moment is how distinct it is from the 1970s “stagflation,” yet the response from the Fed is so similar. Folks should read Meg Jacobs “Panic at the Pump,” tbh.
