An entirely engrossing deep dive into the maddeningly corrupt chicago political machine of the 50s-70s that will leave you with a deep and useful knowledge of chicago politics.
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.
