Real Utopia

Definitely a "pick-and-choose" anthology. Some essays are interesting, some are pretty boring. Interesting vision of the future, but it doesn't seem very likely.

Then again, most radical visions aren't. ;)

I would have given this book 2 1/2 if I could have. It's a hard book to say I liked. It was interesting and thought provoking, but often a chore to read. Some of the essays came across like a grad school paper. It's the kind of book where they talk about how to connect with the working class and then write academic and thoroughly unreadable sentences. Still, the essays are diverse. Participatory economics has a lot going for it. And since so few people talk about real economic alternatives to capitalism, particularly egalitarian ones, it's worth a read.
