    <![CDATA[&quot;Socialism in the American Vernacular&quot;<br/><br/>That is how I describe the normative framework of my boss, political economist, Gar Alperovitz. American's politics needs this kind of bold, pragmatic, out-side-the-ideological-box thinking. I am happy to be working on this as his research associate. We're working on a new book that should be on all of your goodreads lists in two years!]]>
