I wouldn't bother; unless you know absolutely 0 about politics.

You'd get a better cross section of politics by talking to your local schizo

A serious answer: find people on the vanguard of both political stripes and engage in their body of work

If you want someone else taking more of your money and telling you what to do with your money, it's a great book.

lol that "contributor bias" list is mostly bs. only 2 of those 9 people have any real documented politics - Meadway advised the Labour party, and and Kelly wrote a book on egalitarian liberalism. but stuff like "supports anti-corruption reform" or "supports accessible presentations of economic history" are not political leanings. Nobody is pro corruption. And idk where the Farndon/Pusca stuff came from - couldn't find anything on that.

Besides, the book straight up has chapters on Marx AND Burke, Locke AND Rousseau - basically every big name across the spectrum gets covered. Not exactly a slanted book.

More lies and slander against esoteric anarcho communism. Why don't these authors tell the truth?

I like how they don't even quote the book they just attack the authors. Just cause people have certain political beliefs doesn't mean they were being bias. Not everyone is a cnn/fox news viewer.
