Not quite Marxists

The New Left was a label applied in part to a loose left wing movement in the US during the 1960s. It grew partly due to dissension about the Vietnam War. It had a political and economic yearning for a system different from what existed in the US at that time. And yet they had few illusions about Soviet communism. The book has many noted authors, like Tobin and Samuelson, analysing the movement. They critique the economic views. Interestingly, they explore how the New Left differed from doctrinaire Marxists. The New Left had preludes of the Third Way that was briefly proposed after 1990 and the fall of European communism. Relatively little economics jargon here. If you have no formal background in economics, you should still be able to follow the discussion.
