I am reading two wonderful books. One is by Liz Featherstone and the other is by Massimo Borghesi. They are both incredibly wonderful and informative. I would recommend them both.
The Book by Featherstone is called Divining Desire. It is subtitled Focus and the Culture of Consultation. It is a remarkable appraisal of and critique of the use of focus groups in a manner which supports Capitalism and undermines Democracy. It is deeply historical and also analytical.
The Book by Borghesi is entitled Catholic Discordance: Neoconservatism vs. the Field Hospital Church of Pope Francis. It deals with how the conservative Catholic movement has mis-read, misunderstood the way in which Pope Francis theology is actually a continuation of the larger Tradition. And not, as they would understand him, as somehow a ‘heretic’.
I very much reccomend both books. One of the great things about our technology is that I am certain there are ‘summaries’ or even lecturers given by these authors. Well worth finding out anything you can about their insights.

Gracias. I will check these books out in the summer when my ” reading time” will open up a little more. Keeping the soil watered with critical thought ( now considered agitative or militant) keeps the harvest coming.
