I don't really know much about socialism, but I want to learn more. I also don't really know what kind of book I'm looking for, but I'm not really looking to read Marx at this point and I also don't want to read a pop economy book like Freakonomics. I want something a little more legit, or academic, I guess. I'm cool with classics, too, if there is a story out there that explores these themes.

Sorry if that's not much to go by, I'm having trouble articulating what it is I want to read

Very cool, I will definitely check these out!

Also I'm new to Lemmy -- why does it say there's three comments on this post, but I only see yours?

The servers haven't synced, so just wait a little bit, and they will pop up (most likely). The more people interact, the faster this grid will become. It is like weaving cloth for durability.

Enjoy, theory can be a slog, but it isn't all bad! Socialism is quite broad and leftists are famous for disagreeing with each other. If you do not jive with something, explore other literature.
