For a text for a book on capitalism and socialism, Al Campbell and I
have had very good success with assigning the book by Paul Cockshott
and Allin Cottrell "Towards a New Socialism", Spokesman 1993,
0-85124-045-5. It begins with some perceptive critical remarks about
capitalism, and then gives a credible outline of consumer-directed
central planning that could be implemented today. Students said this
was the most exciting of the books assigned. A complete list of all
assigned texts is given below in LaTeX format. The main problem with
this list is that for many students it is too expensive to buy them
all, therefore you should have several copies on reserve.
