Books on Politics and Political Jargon
#1
Hi there,

I'm looking for any recommendations for books on politics and political jargon. For example, something with a guide that can explain the difference between social democracy and democratic socialism. (Note that I know the difference.)

Thank You.

I find Richard Wolff to be a very concise author on this topic. I'm not sure where exactly in which book he explains the exact distinctions of the two but it probably wouldn't be very hard to find. Take a look at his bib:
