I finished reading The Dawn of Everything last weekend and you're right, although none were recognized by European nations or the rest of the world at the time.

Thom, I have been grateful for those Fourth Turning episodes of your TV show back in the days of RT and still refer to the book awaiting the Grey Champion. Democracy in Chains was a root look at our oligarchy, Kurt Anderson's Fantasyland and Evil Genius have defined and revealed the weaknesses in our culture. Though On Tyranny is the handbook for our present era, Timothy Snyder's deeper dive into Putin's genesis and fantasies of the Motherland is "The Road to Unfreedom, Russia - Europe - America" really lays out the present. The only reference I have heard to it was an interview with Lawrence O'Donnell last week, though Snyder has been all over MSNBC. His voice, your voice, Thom, and all those turning point books and many more, give me hope and the ability to vision a democracy that lives in our hearts and adapts to the times.
