For a book that remains many years ahead of its time, go look at Pat Devine's 'Democracy and Economic Planning'. (We've had both Pat and Robin Hahnel, who are among the best on planning from below, speak in Venezuela--- see Robin's recent talk in MR.) Also, see a relatively new work/expose by Moishe Lewin, 'The Soviet Century' (Verso, 2005) drawing upon the post-89 archives--- tells a lot you suspected but didn't really want to know. I'm muddling along on a new MR book, 'The Socialist Alternative: Real Human Development', which should be out next year. Just finished the chapter (I think) on 'real socialism' as an organic system.

Hello from a lurker,

I have a student who would like to do a directed study on socialist alternatives to capitalism. She is particularly interested in centrally planned rather than market socialism systems. I have not kept up on this literature, so my list is a few years out of date. Any suggestions anyone can give would be appreciated.
