I highly recommend the recently published book Radical Markets[1] which I read after listening to an interview with one of the authors on Econtalk[2]. From that summary:
> Weyl urges a radical transformation of land and housing markets using a new federal real estate tax based on self-assessment. Owners would be required to sell their houses at the self-assessed price.
That's just the first part of the book, it has similar suggestions for election law, how monopolies fueled by index funds can be addressed etc.
I don't know how workable all these ideas are in practice, but I found it to be a fresh look at some societal issues.
