Title: Soul of Capitalism, The
Description: I find this to be a powerful work by Greider in which he presents the basic and enormous problem of "irresponsible" capitalism and solutions based on his research through interviews and of theories, such as those of Louis Kelso, David Ellerman, and Herman Daly, and historical sociology of issues like employee-ownership and activism by groups like the Rainforest Action Network.  He weaves his rational analysis with his anecdotal interviews and conversational presenation of theory.  One of the best books I know to help a person understand the world and to take action to do the right things.
