Wasn't up for a while, but its there now.

Cockshott is a terf, and I hate that he is one of the best in the field of economic planning, but this book was interesting. Now you can read it without paying him lol

Just a warning, he's a massive transphobe

Comes with the territory as a white maw cis male I guess.

Some of his work is alright, Towards a New Socialism is an interesting read just because of how focused it is on implementation of cybernetic theory. It's also pretty void of any reactionary views thanks to Cottrell putting a damper on him.

Yeah, I know. Towards a New Socialism has been one of those titles on my endless "to read" list

Reading the books I have in physical form first, prefer that over on screen personally

It's not a very important book, just an interesting read to see a cybernetic approach to planning
