A non-socialist Anti-Capitalist reading list
I thought I would write an Anti-Capitalist reading list for liberals, progressives, social democrats or anyone who has reservations about capitalism (with a view to radicalising them) but who finds the prospect of anything explicitly "socialist" or "Marxist" too daunting to begin with.

Quote:
The Enigma of Capital by David Harvey
have you read that yet? Is it any good?
Capitalism and Schizophrenia by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.
A lot of poststructuralist works criticize capitalism while not being overtly "socialist" (though it's authors more often than not, are).
EDIT: Also Anticapitalism and Culture by Jeremy Gilbert. It's a good summary of the new left movements and it illustrates the convergence of the left and cultural studies discourse very well.
