[The Idler]

Please read any replies to this thread then vote for the best left-wing non-fiction book first published in 2010 or suggest others in replies below (check they are 2010 first). If this is popular I will try and do it for other years.

Red Plenty (thread (http://www.revleft.com/vb/red-plenty-f-t136079/index.html?t=136079)) by Francis Spufford, it's about the gains of planning with computers, wrapped in stories of people living in the Soviet Union (mostly the Khrushchev years), having arguments, and gaming the system. It's somewhat fictionalized to make it flow better, but there's an appendix about it. So it's both my favourite fiction and non-fiction book of the year 2010.

I've only read the first few chapters but I think The Ecological Rift (http://www.amazon.com/Ecological-Rift-Capitalisms-War-Earth/dp/1583672184) by John Bellamy Foster, Brett Clark and Richard York is a serious contender. It's the most in-depth and theoretically rigorous book in the line of excellent books on ecology that Foster has been putting forward.

[Die Neue Zeit]

Harvey's book Enigma, while slanted towards anti-party stunts, provides a good first step. Unlike past academic Marxist works of All Diagnosis and Little to No Solution, this one popularizes the Diagnosis and provides a framework for a Solution.
