On Liberty and The Republic are the two most important on that list in my opinion.

Wealth of Nations is important as well, The Prince is amazing, and Capital is valuable to understand the intention of.

That Kant book is probably one of the most important philosophical novels to date.

Not a single one is bad. Good list.

At least read it to know what it says. I think Atlas Shrugged is terrible but I suffered through and finished it to have a better understanding of where AnCaps and Libertarians are coming from.

>>134383351
Imo the wealth of nations is the least important. It was ground breaking for it's time probably but now it's naive in a multiracial global world. Just read it for the context it gives to other works of the time. Otherwise I agree with ya m8.

>>134383164
Yeah, that puts it into perspective. Trying to read it for the hell of it has been hard. I REALLY want to finish it so I can read city of god but I imagine it's just as dry. I started with Confessions to get a feel for Augustine

I find things like that to be invaluable. But you're quite correct to state it takes the correct mentality going in to appreciate. I always compare that sort of thing to Citizen Kane and how it isn't a great movie, but to consider what it did for movies is invaluable when understanding other works.

>>134383351

And damn I didn't even notice The Politics on the list, as important as Republic probably.

To add onto this, before someone whines about reading Stalin, he is without a doubt the most significant figure of the past two centuries. He commanded the largest country that has ever existed and single-handedly inspired communism in China, Korea, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia, as well as doing what no other man could: defeat Hitler. He is the anti-Trotsky and opposed Lenin's softer but more radical ideology of continuous revolution. Instead, Stalin ruled Russia and conquered half of the Earth through sheer might, becoming unironically the greatest Tsar that ever lived. You would do well to get into his mind, twisted as it was.

>>134381850
retards on 4chan will always recommend 500 year old books by socrates or some shit. DONT read those. dont read wealth of nations or any of that. its largely outdated, and youd be far better off reading something contemporary

they will also recommend books on holocaust denial & books on why jews suck & stuff like that. dont read that either

i didnt say DONT read books you moron
i said "dont read the obvious super famous historical works of economics & philosophy, because you willl just get overwhelmed & unnecessarily confused. unless you are planning on devoting your entire career to ecnomics or political science, stick to contemporary stuff. reading all the well-known old shit is largely a waste of time"

The only older book I would say has stood the test of time is "The Prince". plus, its a very quick read

another book i just finished last week thats very recent and very "red pilled" is "Road to Ruin" by james rickards

Okay satan. People should read these old books because they are literally the foundation for our modern world.

These book recommendation macros aren't to get people up to speed to be a day trader or whatever, they're to get people up to speed on political theory and the history of our western civilization. They should take the extra month to read these foundational books and then move onto contemporary works, which in all reality, are just copies of the books laid out ITT anyways.

>>134384666
PS: if you plan on reading "Road to Ruin" and youre not well-versed in economics, i would strongly suggest reading "How an Economy Grows and why it Crashes" first, as it is basically the ultimate "economics 101" for people who havent studied it. otherwise, just be prepared to google a lot of terms

>>134381850
The selfish gene by Richard Dawkins is a must read. Almost all human questions can be made more clear by seeing them in evolutionary theory.

There is one great exception which is what consciousness is. This is a dangerous road to go down, it has driven many men to insanity. It is also nearly infinite in its diversity of possible approach.

I would recommend, for western people, Imanuel Kant, Oswald Spengler, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. These men have given me more than anyone else. Yes Wittgenstein is a jew but the man was honest.

Philosophy is a torture and it should not be entered upon lightly.

Also read the thoughts of men of other races. The Chinese, the Indian. It will be alien to you but it will afford you valuable insight just as our thought does to them.

In the end the height of European peoples has been our science, and there we should rely. But that doesn't mean we should ignore the more vague and ambiguous questions.

The amount of intellect, effort, and courage necessary to actually approach these questions is inhuman. We must accept our inevitable failure.

For some this resignation leads to the outside authority of God, for others to secular equivalents. But the pursuit is never wrong. I would say finally that it is the poets that remind us most of what truly matters and what is most real.
And there I would recommend Pushkin, Rilke, blake, the Brontes, and Trakl for relatively modern examples.

>>134384956
yes & i dont disagree with that, but some dude trying to get into reading wiill most likely just be discouraged if he immediately jumps into these works, as they are very... unwelcoming to newcomers. and, dude, ive read some, and its all very vague & very philosophical. i read all of wealth of nations for my masters, and its honestly.... 25% brilliance hidden in ramblings largely proven to be inconsequential or outdated.

if some dude wants to read some books about how the world actually works.... the majority of themes covered in those old, massive book-collections can be found in efficiently condensed versions in a lot of contemporary works. you just need to research your authors a bit before reading their works, as they dont have 1000 years of historical significance attached to their name

i stand by what i said, OP. dont read these 1000 fucking year old books. read something contemporary if you want to get a stronger base understanding of politics and economics.

unless you plan to spend ages reading. then, sure, read wealth of nations

Man, the wealth of nations is the longest book by far. The rest are short and can be read in a few days. You're making a big deal over nothing.

>if some dude wants to read some books about how the world actually works.... the majority of themes covered in those old, massive book-collections can be found in efficiently condensed versions in a lot of contemporary works
And I'm not arguing with you about this. There is much better, and more succinct books out there about modern economics.

>OP. dont read these 1000 fucking year old books. read something contemporary if you want to get a stronger base understanding of politics and economics.
Out of all of those books only ONE focuses on economics, and even then, there's a lot to be gleaned from his book that doesn't relate to economics. You're retarded if you don't think anyone should read city of God because it's too old for example. Half of these books are lynch pins in the foundation of western society and they should be mandatory reading you big fat faggot.

>>134385648
dude most of the books you listed in that image absolutely pertain to economics, largely so. marx, hobbes, smitht, emmanuel kant... if you dont see how most of those books pertain to economics, then i dont think you have an adequate understanding of how political institutions & economic institutions are correlated.

but still, im just saying, based on my non-autism: OP wants to read some book that will teach him some shit about politics or whatever, so hes not just another moron redneck racist on /pol/, and the wise suggestion then isnt to list the complete works of historical philosophy (most people arent gonna be bothered to read that shit), but some few contemporary, efficient books that give explanations for how things are.

If whites (=true westerners) were as good dealing with money as the jews, they wouldn't be in control of our society and they would not be able to destroy our culture and annihilate our race.

>>134385704
again, im not saying "dont read those books", ive read most of the books listed in those dumb images, and of course they had value, but... honestly, i couldve read the wikipedia-summary of most of them without really losing anything. its largely outdated, formulated in an unnecessarily complex manner, and if OP just wants to "read a red pilled book", then listing fifty fucking books from 10000 years ago seems a bit autistic

>>134381950

Bro, anything can relate to economics but you're dumb if you think any of the books listed in my picture specifically relate to economics and not society in general, and you've probably never read them.

>so hes not just another moron redneck racist on /pol/, and the wise suggestion then isnt to list the complete works of historical philosophy (most people arent gonna be bothered to read that shit)
You say this and recommend economics 101 or whatever, and eventually OP will need to read the books listed thus far regardless. You're just being and argumentative faggot for the sake of it. I'm going to come to Norway and punch you in the face.

I read the Iliad. I think it's really important especially for our time. The main message I got was that the good/civilized guys don't always win. The more powerful do. It's an important response to our own whiggish narrative i.e. "We're Americans (or Europeans). We CAN'T fall to the Muslims..... We're the guys that are for freedom!"

sure, ok. recommend that then, not this mandatory list of 100 old books that always get suggested whenever someone asks for advice on books on /pol/. its decent copypasta, but im just being real and advising OP to start with something more digestible & more immediately recognizably applicable

>>134386791

Yeah, that is one of the main points. Also, fortunes always shift, war is hell, beware hubris. Though, Hector was kind of a cunt too.

I see there is an argument about great books and their readability here. Easy answer to this: read Plato. It's very easy and is undeniably foundational to western thought. So much so that it has been said that all of western history is a footnote to Plato.

Nigger, at most it would take a few months to read all of these, and a good portion of that would be on the wealth of nations, which you don't even need to read the second half of.

I think your autism is getting in the way of this discussion. This isn't "hey learn economics hurr durr" this isn't /biz/. This is red pilled books, presumably how to make you more educated about politics and the image I posted is the perfect start on that road. It's all the foundational books of western society. And the sheer fact that you're saying don't read these is retarded. You should always be expanding your knowledge and for that purpose these books are way more valuable than any modern economics book.

Starship Troopers - a sci-fi military-themed 'coming of age' story set against the backdrop of an interstellar war between humans and "the bugs". The story follows Johnny Rico as he enlists, trains, and fights in the war. Beneath the sci-fi action is a thoughtful political commentary on the pros of meritocracy, the concept of 'earned citizenship', and the improvement of politics and society thru the adoption of military discipline.

It's still considered mandatory reading in officer schools in the US military.

Start by easy entry level books, like the free to choose by Milton Friedman, or the Six Lessons by Mises.

Physics grad here - if you guys want a good introductory text, look up Physics Vol I and II by Halliday, Resnick, and Krane. It's one of several common choices for first year undergraduate physics students and provides a good introduction to calculus-based Mechanics, E&M, Thermodynamics, and some basic Atomic Theory and Quantum Mechanics.

Currently it's in it's 5th edition and you can probably find pdfs online (I'm sure /sci/ can hook you up if you ask nicely).

You're partially right. Based on your other posts that your main issue seems to be with the circlejerk of old books while completely ignoring modern ones, but the way you frame it makes it look like you're claiming these books aren't even worth reading at all. I think it causes people to get defensive, especially since some people may have found them enlightening.

Reading only old books is nonsense as the world is constantly changing, among other reasons. However, much of western civilization was built by people with these beliefs and thoughts as those who wrote these books. Reading them can be an excellent way to frame the world differently, change your perspective, and challenge yourself to try to see things through the eyes of someone who lived so many years ago.

You're not going to learn about modern economics by reading these old books, but that doesn't mean they don't have great value. The key is finding balance between contemporary and old/somewhat outdated books.

Knowing where someone or something comes from can be pretty helpful.

yeah that about sums it up

Do you have any type of ordered reading list that you think others might find helpful? I think one reason these lists get spread around is that they're posted in a friendly format, even if the books listed aren't so friendly.

everyone always includes Nietzsche, for example, and ive read two books by him (his most famous ones, i suppose), and although they have merit and are worth reading, i wouldnt ever recommend them to a seemingly "casual reader" who seems mostly interested in politics and economics. know your audience, people

I agree it's extremely helpful to have a cynical and cold thought process when thinking about people's behaviors. Luckily I think a lot of the posters on /pol/ already possess that cynicism that can be such a useful tool if used properly.

>I haven't checked out those other ones,
48 laws of power is KINDOF... well... apparantly its like super popular with prison inmates, but its the one out of those 4 i recommend the least

The Prince = how to get power
Rules for Radicals = how to remove that fucker from power

i recommend both of those. they are fairly short, especially the prince

hah, point

I was thinking about picking this up just because I like sci fi and haven't read any Heinlein yet.

Without spoiling it, what's so redpilled about it?

I'm reading decline of the west ATM but god is it slow going. Not a very gripping book, and not really interesting either... I'll probably finish it to see if it ever gets a bit more relevant or interesting in regards to what he's saying..

A lot of people went through a lot of work to put this together.

This is something I've only read recently, but regret not going over it sooner. It's a quick read. and free.

Nerds of pol, I need your help.

I recently bought a handful of books and I don't know which one to begin with. I've been told that many philosophy works are difficult to read without prior context. Here is my list:
Aristotle-politics
Dale Carnegie
Hayek-road to serfdom
Julius Evola- men among the ruins
Machiavelli-prince
Oswald Spengler- man and technics
Oswald Spengler- the decline of the west
Plato-the republic
Ragnar-might is right
Thomas Hobbes- leviathan
Jared Taylor- white identity

I'm fairly new to leasurely reading so I'm asking for advice on which ones to start off with. Ideally, id like to read the most easily understood ones first.

I appreciate it Arubabro. Some people blaze through books but it takes me longer. Still, this year is by far the most I've ever read.

The lists are not for most people. People that ask pol for reading suggestions know what they're getting into.

If you want a good book on the basic economics you won't find one much better than pic related.

Start with The Republic.

>>134390626
I read Ride The Tiger about a year ago, before I had any understanding of fascist/authoritarian philosophy. It's either over-hyped, or you need a lot of preparation to get into it, because its not clear what he's talking about and a bit esoteric. His language and the topics he covers are strange, like eroticism and some funky stuff. I'm going to sound pretentious, but I'm generally very good at insightful reading and read a lot, and I didn't get a ton out of it last year. Maybe I would get more out of it now. If you don't do a lot of /pol/itical reading, I wouldn't start on it like I tried to. Hope that helps.

Is Vergil's Aeneis worth reading?
I heard the first chapters are fun but at the end it gets very boring

Republic is good. The Greeks are good at really creating a basis of philosophy, because they are the basis of Western philosophy. Socrates 2000+ year old remarks on democracy, aristocracy, and dictatorship still ring true now. It's amazing.

I haven't read most of that, but if I could choose an order from what I'm somewhat familiar with from that list I would suggest:
>The Republic
>Aristotle - Politics
>Machiavelli
>Leviathan
Nice way to frame your mind for the rest of that list, which I'm not familiar with, but is probably progressively more difficult. Also, that's more than a handful of books, unless you read stupidly fast that'll probably take longer than you're expecting. Good luck.
