I think I'm going to reread 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' by Kahneman.

I just finished reading a book called 'La crisis latente del Darwinismo' by Maurício Abdalla (which would be something like 'The Latent Crisis of Darwinism' in English). I loved this book so much. The author, who is a philosopher, explains the incompatibilities between the theory of evolution proposed by Darwin (and Neo-Darwinism) and recent scientific discoveries. He discusses alternative theories such as those suggested by Lynn Margulis or Máximo Sandín, which move away from competition as a key factor in evolution. Abdalla mentions how Darwinism was a theory molded by the ideology of its time: liberalism.
