Howard Zinn

You have probably heard that Howard Zinn died yesterday. His books have been a great influence on my thinking about politics, government, war, and how we should treat other people in this world.

This video, A People’s History of American Empire, briefly covers many of Zinn’s ideas that are expanded upon in his many books and articles. If you aren’t familiar with Zinn’s work, start with this. (I also posted this same video a few months ago, but I think it is worth repeating now.)

Now go read some of his books. I would recommend A People’s History of the United States, probably his most recognized work. I am also a fan of A Power Governments Cannot Suppress. Both are great books and will hopefully change the way you think about the world and your place in it.
