Title: Concisely put polemic against the tendency towards totaltarianism
Review: The Open Society and its Enemies, would be my political book of choice, Karl Popper laid out some of the seminal arguments against modern totalitarianism, albeit a bit too late for Hitler and Stalin. He argues against political idealism on both the left and the right as dangerous as their implementation would require massive restructuring of society, suspension of rights and still would have no guarantee of their affect on things like human happiness in the end. He instead proposes an incremental approach towards social engineering (i.e. policies of public institutions) be guided by an imperfect but open process of fair elections, popular democracy and fair justice."All long term change is institutional" - Karl Popper
