A fascinating and prescient case study of resistance to rising capitalism
5 stars
Although the subject of the study is a farming community in Malaysia, the insights are far reaching. Scott's insights into the workings of capitalism and communism and other intellectual systems of government, and how they contrast with the day-to-day needs of working people have stood the test of time.
