| of the 19th and 20th century, according to Human Events.
I can maybe see Mao's little red book qualifying. Mein Kampf though...wasn't that written well into Hitler's career and the horrific things would have happened with or without it?
And why are the books on feminism and sexuality so very harmful?
The shortened list:
- The Communist Manifesto
- Mein Kampf
- Quotations from Chairman Mao
- The Kinsey Report
- Democracy and Education
- Das Kapital
- The Feminine Mystique
- The Course of Positive Philosophy
- Beyond Good and Evil
- General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money
