Extremely excellent book. Absolute must read imo

This is also a must read

This book is also the best Ive read about the international financial crisis, and can be read to circumvent Quinn Slobodian’s rather sloppy book “Globalists” which lacks the academic precision and larger analytical scope of Boyce’s superior history.

This book is a good blend of history and conceptual analysis. It brings in literary criticism and discusses Globalism more as a proper, distinct intellectual phenomenon.

This one is fascinating, keep returning to it over and over. Really explains the entire way that air power and aircraft manufacture were conceived as central to the International Peace Movement. Pairs nicely with Human Smoke
