Even though Hal Abelson is not the first in the list of authors, it is him who attracted me to this book.

I have read Managerial Revolution by James Burnham, as an entry into the political philosophy of Mencius Moldbug. The book is interesting, and I decided to write a review on it, just as I do with many interesting books.
