RESOURCES
Capitalism - in all its social, economic, political and cultural dimensions - has long been is a focus of many people's work. The following are very partial - and frequently updated - listings of books, articles, organizations, web videos and movies we find particularly useful. We've included hyperlinks where available (in blue).
Our goal is to include a variety of perspectives: we believe the most valuable conversations result from considering different opinions and weighing them against our own ideas and experience. Therefore, the listing of a resource here should not be understood as a statement of support for the ideas it expresses.
Feel free to let us know if you have suggestions of resources to add!
