alt Hacker NewsI often ponder why Carl Sagan never added another book to his famous reading list for students, as it makes a fairly reasonable argument that most populist movements are essentially interchangeable =3
"The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements" (Eric Hoffer, 1951)

This should be at the top of everyone's reading list. It was the blueprint for the CIA's regime change agenda, led too MKUltra/Mockingbird and is still required reading for most Terrorism studies classes.
I don't think this list is as famous as you assume it to be. The only "Carl Sagan reading list" I managed to find [0] is apparently his personal TODO note (books he plans to read, but haven't at the moment of writing). Which obviously isn't the same thing as "his famous reading list for students".
