Thanks for a great interview, Doug. Two things. Can you provide a list of 5 or 10 top books (other than your own! :) that you’d recommend a newly active person read to get a solid understanding of contemporary economics and politics? Also, you mentioned institutional structures that we need to create. Have you written anything or can you discuss more about what you have in mind?

@ Andrew – I took a crack at listing the books I thought were most relevant here (11:08 AM mark) – http://www.plutocracyfiles.com/2011/10/live-blogging-ows-102411.html
I’ll be interested if Doug has any to add.
Andrew, Doug has (more than one) book of his own. _Wall Street: How It Works and for Whom_ is available online, for free, here:
