If it's banned from Amazon, we're off to a good start.

[wednesdaynightbusiness]

A UFC fighter called Renato Moicano recently shouted out 'Democracy: The God That Failed' in his post-fight victory speech. Crazy world we're living in.

[LadyOfShaIott]

‘The Open Society Playbook’ and ‘The Transgender Industrial Complex’ by Scott Howard are excellent recent books too. The second book is banned from Amazon and pretty much everywhere else mainstream - I got my copy from Antelope Hill.

[nachtwandeling]

Amazing how much time and effort you must have put in making these videos lately, AA. My hat off to you.

[HalfManThirdBiscuit]

This is 100% down to my comment request the other week, no doubt. You're welcome folks.

[LordEriolTolkien]

I am not going to be truly impressed until AA writes a book that then gets banned. /throws down gauntlet

[davestevenson]

Well done condensing this to one hour, really like the way the books were grouped also. You are a top tier creator AA

[Ridthetigr]

Thanks AA. I'm very late, was asleep most of my life. This gives an invaluable jumping off point for further reading.

[Nonstoplink]

It would be interesting to hear if there are any books from your original list that you would disavow now.

[kulturedads]

Jordan Peterson ad: "why did I decide to build an online university?"

AA: Here are a whole bunch of hi-test redpills

[luswyr]

So happy you changed directions with your content, I have no time to listen to streams and chats. I really am enjoying getting valuable content 10-30 mins (usually) from your recent videos that contains lots of information. Looking forward to more from you in the future.

[Spadille_]

Kevin Macdonald, the Culture of Critique series. That’s it - that’s the list

[RichardPhillips]

You we're attacked on the latest, you distributist steam, by a guy called Gabriel(little hat) .. Dave shut him up down, real friends you've got there

[ArmiesAndBattles]

A must-read against liberalism is Robert E. Lane "The Loss of Happiness in Market Democracies" (2000). Published during the victory age of liberalism (1989-2001), it argues that the prerequisites of liberalism (freedom, autonomy and choice) does not make people happy, despite living in abundance. It resurrects the dichotomy of material versus metaphysical by denouncing consumerism as a substitute for what people crave most (companionship, love, friendship, etc.), that can't be bought. It explains in many way the ills of the modern world.

I missed Ortega y Gasset in your list, especially the Revolt of the Masses (1929) and Mission of the University (1930).

[Shaddam-llnc]

Book lists are always my favourite videos

[evolassunglasses]

Give this a share.
Thank you for doing this video AA.

[CountArtha]

20:09 When I was writing my thesis, I had a paperback of List's _National Theory of Political Economy_ that General Books said they had created especially for me using Optical Character Recognition technology. I have never felt more like a wizard studying a forbidden text.

[spacedebris]

There were two precursors to Stalin's War: The Chief Culprit: Stalin's Grand Design to Start World War II (2008) - Viktor Suvorov & Stalin's War of Extermination, 1941-1945: Planning, Realization and Documentation (2001) - Joachim Hoffmann.

[ArmchairOps]

This surpassed my expectations, I was expecting a 30min video at most.
Good work, AA.
