5.0

This is the book I've been waiting for a long time. I always thought that there was something else going on, other than the old left-versus-right polarization. This book shows us a completely different perspective, and it's having a profound impact on how I see life and politics.

If you're tired of the us-vs-them battles going around, this book is for you.
