The Gentlemen (2019)

it's nice to see that Guy Ritchie is no longer even pretending to care about anything but dudes and their violent money issues anymore - but this story is far to heavy on the dudes, and far too light on the violent money issues.

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.
