Great reading suggestions. I was infuriated by half of them, intrigued by most of the rest and chuckling about the lovely Polish-Lithuanian in our time reference for reasons I'm not sharing on here. Thank you and a merry Christmas to you and yours.
great list! some of my favs in here (mueller's book, "the right to sex"). was wondering if you had ever had the chance to read aaron benanav's sort-of take on the socialist calculation debate? https://logicmag.io/commons/how-to-make-a-pencil/

I did! I liked that essay a lot. Benanav's book is sitting on my shelf mocking me because I haven't read it yet — top of my 2022 reading list.
