Ezra described the book as a highly persuasive defense of sexwork decriminalisation and noted its impact on his own work.
The second book is a book called Revolting Prostitutes which I engage with pretty closely in my book. It's written by two British sex workers, Juno Mack and Molly Smith. It is the most dispositive defense of sex work decriminalisation I have ever read ... It shows that the argument for decriminalisation in no way rests on the idea that sex work is good or unproblematic.

It is the most dispositive defense of sex work decriminalization I have ever read, showing that the argument does not rest on sex work being good or unproblematic, but on a profound tension between punishing buyers and improving the lives of marginalized women.

The last book I'd recommend is called Democracy Without Domination, by Danielle Allen and Rohini Somanathan. The heart of the book is the argument that justice, racial justice and all justice has to focus on nondomination, steering away from a liberal reliance on John Rawls and the difference principle toward a new way of thinking about democracy, with practical implications for representation and institutional design.
Pursuing Justice in Diverse Democracies
Felicia Wong explained that the edited volume argues for a justice framework focused on nondomination, moving away from raw statistical representation toward institutional rules that prevent one group from dominating another.
Democracy Without Domination ... the heart of the book is this argument that justice, racial justice and all justice has to focus on nondomination... It is a great book.

Ezra explained that the edited volume argues for a conception of justice centered on nondomination, moving beyond Rawlsian principles toward a democratic model that prevents any group from dominating another.
The heart of the book, it's an edited volume, the heart of the book is this argument that justice, racial justice and all justice has to focus on non-domination.

The heart of the book, it's an edited volume, the heart of the book is this argument that justice, racial justice and all justice has to focus on non-domination.
This leads them away from this kind of liberal reliance on John Rawls and a kind of difference principle and towards a very new or different way of thinking about democracy.
For example, they argue that representation has to move away from statistical mirroring. You know, like if you are 40 percent of the population, you should get 40 percent of the political representatives. We have to move away from that to a politics that make sure that rules and institutions don't allow one group to dominate another group.
