Miller’s Crossing (1990)

somehow this coen brothers flick, despite its period-piece-ness being trying at times, and despite having way too many dudely dudes in it, manages to tell a poignant story that really makes you think about what it means to have integrity and live a good life.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
