Interesting, we were discussing this in my Philosophy class just tonight, and one of the reasons is because it applies to so many different fields of study. I would hope that students are reading it and understanding just how radical it is, but I'm a 44 year old man, not a millennial who just absorbs anything without reasoning. The number 1 book is Plato's Republic.

BTW, I am studying at the University of Alaska Anchorage.

Plato was the first 'planner'. A closet commie. That's why he's popular with the Marxists. Much of Aristotle's political writing was a retort to Plato's Republic.
