the reagans (2020)

This documentary about the president and his wife was informative and entertaining, especially for someone like me who really enjoys 20th c american history, but I will say that I found the depth of focus simultaneously too light (they could've gone so much deeper with the source material) and too heavy (for what was essentially a glossy summary, it still took 4 hours).

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.
