Aside from classics such The Prince and Republic, what are the best works of literature concerning political science/theory/philosophy? Bonus points if non-Western.
Also, would anyone happen to know of a website/bookstore which would offer Spanish editions of these books?
If you're interesting somethign like the Prince but more modern, try the 48 laws of power.

capital, marx

I'm a Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums blend so what I've read is "the dictators handbook", "predisposed", "our political nature" and "the righteous mind". They are political science with the second and third using an evolutionary perspective and the last one a psychological perspective.

Chomsky and Marx. If you want propaganda stuff then read Bernays.
Nathan Gonzalez
Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics
Dylan Cox
Hegel's Reason in History isn't bad. Pretty short and relatively readable, gives an overview of the dialectical development of the World Spirit and how that gives rise to history.
Parker James
>48 laws of power. I keep hearing it's a great book, but rappers (not Nas or Pac) and common celebrities endorsing it makes me skeptical. Is it really a good book?

>Chomsky and Marx >not propaganda stuff

This thread sucks
Read Max Weber's politics as a vocation, then read competing theories about the social contract.
Establish your foundation and then branch out from there.

Democracy in America is one of the most important works if you want to understand a republic

I wonder which percentage of people shitting on Marx have read Das Kapital.
Hudson Powell

I'm doing a masters in Economics and we had to read these:
Adam smith, Wealth of nations David Ricardo : On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation John Locke: Two Treatises of Government Max Weber: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism Alfred Marshall: Principles of Economics Thomas Piketty: Capital in the 21st century (I live in a socialist state)

>Chomsky and Marx
Chomsky is a linguistics major he can't calculate tax on a microwave oven.
Michael Brown
fany you didn't read any hayek, keynes or such comparable literature when dealing with fuking economics
Bentley Torres
That's for next year maybe I didn't understand why we had to read Max Weber either but oh well.
Isaac Harris
Funny to read Wealth of Nations and not have Das Kapital go with it too they are good pairing
Henry James
Das kapital is more a philosphy it doesn't have any economican principles. To get into Marxist economics you have to read Karl Kautsy.
Unfortunately Marxism already has been disproven Theoretically by his value theory and law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.
Michael Gonzalez
*economical.
William Scott
just because he fucked two ideas doesn't mean the entire book is unreadable diarrhea vomit garbage mate.
even for historical reasons and its impact on world its important reading
Andrew Ramirez
Would be a good post if you didn't conflate socialism with communism
Hunter Sanchez
Very few. They just parrot whatever they have been told with no further research into the very thing they dislike.
Michael Diaz
I'd say about the same than those praising him
Owen Hughes

My god, how can someone be not only so ignorant but also shameless enough to show it in public?
