Fictional books with Political themes by Political Scientists, Theorists, Scholars, Philosophers, or Economists/Sociologists/Anthropologists
Kind of like how there’s a lot of physicists, chemists, biologists, or engineers who write Science Fiction
Or historians who write Historical Fiction?
I’m interested in reading any fictional books with “political intrigue”, really any thoughtful examination of politics within the story/series - written by an author who has a background in the field.
Even if they are just a politician or similar community organiser with no formal education, but reasonable experience that aids their writing.
I was inspired the George RR Martin quote about Aragorn’s tax policies. I could never quite understand how in a world with magic, currency exists. How are people poor if you can conjure resources, eliminating scarcity and thus the impetus for markets in the first place?
So I want to read any scholars in those areas taking these ideas to in the realm of fiction, akin to physicists theorising how we could travel at the speed of light.
