Gar Alperovitz is doing some incredible and really important economic work today, supporting research into economic systems other than capitalism and state socialism. He's doing lots of research into cooperative economic structures, municipally supported public-private economies, how we could build sustainability controls into the structure of the economy, and so forth. It's fascinating work. If you have any interest in economics at all, it's worth checking out his think tank, the Democracy Collaborative [1] which studies cooperatives (worker and otherwise) as well as supports improvements in local democratic control, and it's spin off project The Next System Project [2] which is soliciting white papers outlining new economic and social systems that aren't either capitalism or state socialism that might solve the problems inherent to both.
