my old chestnut “Every book an essay” definitely applies to this very helpful but very repetitive parenting manual, although I do think that if one was coming to it with no previous conception of the approach, the repetition might be more useful than it was for me.
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.
