The Pursuit of Attention: Power and Ego in Everyday… di Charles Derber

Some of the material is dated--are "housewives" still a demographic group?--but the premise and transactional analyses are first-rate.

People Before Profit: The New Globalization in an… di Charles Derber

Derber examines the foundations of corporate globalization, and proposes alternatives to that model of economics. The book explains that globalization isn't the problem per se, but rather the basis for that globalization. Globalization can be made to serve the people of earth if it is based on a more democratic model. Derber offers some steps we can take as citizens to begin moving our economic system in that direction.
