Nonfiction: Democratic by Design, Gabriel Metcalf

Well-researched and passionately argued, but a bit too large-scale for my interests.

Metcalf presents a set of case-studies of communal, union, or partnership-owned organizations and initiatives in the hope of inspiring future people to use this avenue of social progressiveness to enact large-scale social change on a variety of issues.  I was hoping there would be more information on smaller "commune-style" financial and economic arrangements, but this was more focused on larger businesses and in large-scale social institutions.  Still interesting, but not the type of research and analysis that I was looking for.
