Skeleton Key for postwar US history imo. Take some time to read the descriptions; every detail is pretty revelatory.

They’re continuing to develop ways to target ideology. In this case they name Marxism, but they’re lumping more together.

Darren Dochuk on the unique character of the postwar Sun Belt suburb/exurbs -- they were not commuter suburbs but completely self-contained communities housing employees of military contractors that predominantly engaged in high-tech rather than labor-intensive manufacturing.

@noonchaand I think the college-educated class in India benefits far too much from BJP policies which reinforce their caste and class dominance to completely discard them -- that's why they're just seeking technocratic reform within the system.
