added to this week's reading list
Nov. 22nd, 2009 04:47 amMax Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, recommended by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shabda and available free on the web from the University of Virginia.
On that note, what's a good serious economic analysis of post-scarcity systems? This reading list is rather long, but also dates to 2000, and a lot has happened between then and now. Soddy's Wealth, Virtual Wealth and Debt looks like required reading, especially these days, but only has bearing on what I'm looking for. Also, emphasis on serious; goshwow predictions and wouldn't-it-be-neat-if have their place, but Vernor Vinge, Cory Doctorow and Murray Bookchin are all too handwavy.
