The Origins of Political Order
Political Order and Political Decay

Fukuyama is the final redpill.

Machiavelli is incomplete without his Discourses on Livy, but these are excellent suggestions.

HanFeizi and The Book of Lord Shang for eastern legalism.

Hugo Grotius if you want more european stuff, but he's very dry. Julius Evola's Metaphysics of War has a cool commentary on the roman worldview (with some inaccuracies).

The speeches of Cicero and Demosthenes also.

The meme is Plato's Republic but that's literally just up his own ass 'I've figured everything out' unrealistic shit in the vein of Kant.

What do I read if I want to become Doctor Doom?

Manga

I already read this. It's probably my favorite book ever.

The republic
Aristotles politics
The prince
Locke
Hobbes
Lives of greeks and romans

op's author did an interview on econtalk for another one of his books and he was the most insufferably smarmy contrarian full of questionable advice.So I don't think much of him

art of war, Machiavelli etc are all memes. Books with little applied value in modern politics nevertheless parroted by academics to make their courses appear legitimate. In reality a genuinely good book on politics hasn't been written yet. You might appreciate studying history
