Two Cheers for Anarchism: Six Easy Pieces on Autonomy, Dignity and Meaningful Work and Play by James C. Scott

 I was trying to decide whether I should read his Seeing Like A State when I realised I had this. Honestly, not particularly impressed; Scott isn’t an anarchist, he’s just “looking at things with an anarchist squint.” That squint, however, is very much coming from a well-off white guy with an academic background. Anyway, these are short — rants or pontifications — most of them wouldn’t even qualify as essays — on various subjects on which Scott Has An Opinion, and feels this connects to anarchy. Many of them verge on Old Man Yells At Cloud.
