About the Author:
Michael Albert is the author of more than a dozen books, and co-founder of Z Magazine and znet, a progressive online network.
Review:
Michael Albert has always written about economics as if human beings really mattered. Thinking Forward is a wonderfully written, thoughtful, and even funny exploration into dismal science of economics. We don't often think of political economy as visionary social science-yet Michael Albert manages to create progressive and even revolutionary ways of thinking about the way things are produced and owned in our society-while conveying a deeply humanstic understanding of how the world should work. Thinking Forward is a wonderful blueprint on the humane possibilities of transformative economics. -Manning Marable, Author of Along the Color Line
