Burning Book: A Visual History of Burning Man by Jessica BruderThis annual celebration has become the summer party for the wannabe radical (and a few real ones) who celebrate radically progressive ideas like cash-free exchange, gift economies, few restrictions on self-expression, high tolerance for drug use and strange behavior, and an emphasis on creativity and absurdity. Bruder's book is filled with photos from her visits to Burning Man. If you've never been, but want to get a sense of what it's like, this is the book for you.
Why this is progressive/liberal: It's a bike-friendly, drug-friendly, environment-friendly, nudity-friendly, non-traditional belief-friendly, anti-capitalist, summer break for hipsters of all persuasions.
