The rerun of the Slow Read of The Books of Jacob continues.

Chapter 2 introduces us to a remarkable woman politician in Poland during the 18th century, Katarzyna Kossakowska

"Kossakowska has animal instincts, like a she-wolf in a pack of males"

Through her we learn about the courts and the abuses of the Polish nobility, (Szlachta) who like 21st century American libertarians pursued their Golden Liberty to the point of national destruction.
