A classic work on the underclass, which I use to define my program for distinguishing between the deserving and the undeserving poor, and treating each with justice. Plus, a variety of thoughts on modern Great Britain, none complimentary. (This article was first published September 29, 2018.)

This is the book that explains everything that matters at this moment. You must read it.  Although I wrote this nearly five years ago, it has not aged a day, and remains, I think, one of my most useful articles. (This article was first published January 19, 2017.)

An examination of lessons to be learned from the Bolshevik revolution of 1917, a time of ferment resembling ours,  including the crucial lesson that great change is always a step function, not gradual. (This review was first published September 23, 2018.)
