Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider The Republic by Plato. Recommended by 13 sources.

Main value: a wealth of thought experiments for testing political and ethical intuitions. Main limitation: repetitive refutations, long policy sketches and dense metaphysical passages can feel abstruse and slow; patience and some philosophical background help.
