In the past year and a half I've been exploring Austrian economics as well as a number of other more "libertarian" thinkers who, at most, have supported limited state interventions and power. If I were to base all conclusions upon merely hearing these viewpoints, all of which are on one side of the table I would be doomed to fallacy (and indeed one which I believe a great number of people here fall for).
I have plenty of access to current mainstream economics, and Marx's stuff, but could any of you hook me up with some thinkers who aren't strictly speaking libertarian, that is to say both moderate, modern conservative, and "left" ideologies. I'd particularly appreciate it if I could get some of the radicle left stuff because the alternative that I REALLY don't want to do, but which I am prepared to do, is to ask this question down at leftrev, one place that I have hitherto refused to go.
PDF's would be greatly preferred over links to physical books.
Thanks
Get past all the flowery nonsense.... but here You can tell she's serious about her work because she uploaded it for free. This has as many left-y themes in it as you're going to get.
Try 'ABCs of political economy'. That is post-marxist left wing anti capitalist political economy. You might find a few of the ideas in this in revleft.
Some of the more colourful section headings
.The Nightmare of a Malevolent Invisible Foot
.Free Enterprise Equals Economic Freedom – Not,
.Markets Are Fair – Not
.Markets Are Efficient – Not
I found it when trying to reasearch parecon. The most useful part for me is the end which outlines the most recent proposals for post capitalist Utopias.

Socialism after Hayek by Theodore Burczak is actually pretty interesting.

Wooww lol. The first thing that I said to myelf when I saw the word "feminist" in the title culminated with the cover was "Oh hell" still it looks fairly short and decently written, I particularly like the fact that it seems to focus a lot (from my scanning of the first section) on the way in which ideas are transmitted which has always interested me
