Next was "Working in the Wings," edited by Beth Osborne and Christine Woodworth. This is a nice collection of essays at the unique intersection of US theatre history and labor, mixing some artistic analysis of how theater has portrayed labor issues from the 19th century onwards, as well as the labor of producing theatrical productions itself. I particularly liked the chapter on the First Washington Theater by AnnMarie Saunders

Last was "The Dark Pattern" by Guido Palazzo and Ulrich Hoffrage. This is a decent review of major Western corporate scandals in the last few decades, summarizing media coverage and integrating some psychological research findings from other work to provide context. If you're already familiar with either of those things you're unlikely to find anything new here, as the framework the authors provide is extremely nebulous and not very helpful https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/guido-palazzo-ph-d/the-dark-pattern/9781541705326/ (8/8)
