Freakonomics

Th…that’s a bit, right? I thrifted one of those books recently… scared

It's not a fash book but it is a neoliberal "wowie economics huh!" book that tries to thread the needle of material conditions around individual responsibility. If, for instance, a minority population is poor because of redlining, the solution is obviously providing scholarship programs to high achiever students so they can then open businesses in those areas and gentrify tax revenues higher.

The worst one I remember is an argument for why you should prefer staffing non-Mexican Latinos if you own a Mexican restaurant. Or non-Japanese East Asians if you own a Japanese restaurant. Etc.

Something about how your clientele is racist and doesn’t care to tell the difference, so you need to cater to them.

Edit: this may have been the Freakonomics podcast, not the book.

It's not a Nazi book directly, but there are definitely low background levels of hitler-detector
