I liked Lasse Birk Olesen's question, so I'm stealing it for my own.
Can you recommend a book that will challenge my world view? Which book should make any honest reader support one of the following:
* Economic redistribution or government subsidies to e.g. food, health insurance, education, or arts
* Comprehensive market regulations (e.g. housing, food, medicine, finance.
* Climate change is a) real, b) will have strong net negative consequences, and c) deserves massive state intervention to prevent. (I'm especially interested in books which address the latter two points.)
* Political feminism such as gender quotas or other special legal rights for certain groups
* Strong restrictions on immigration.
* Rejection or reduction of use of technologies such as GMO, genetic screening, stem cell treatments, AI
* Centralisation of political power in super-state units such as EU and US fed
* Vegetarianism or veganism
* A specific religion or spiritual belief
* Gun control (especially one which addresses the anti-tyranny argument)
* Aging and death should be embraced.
* Criminalization of sex work.
* Criminalization of recreational drugs.
* Something else which you think I am currently not a proponent of (but should be)
I value books with consequentialist and empirical arguments higher than books with rationalistic/a priori arguments.
Thank you!
