Even if you don't necessarily want to reorganize society and produce for need rather than profit, this is an excellent little book. The drawings are fun and some of these things I've always found a bit mystifying are simplified.

We could all benefit from remembering that trade wars create shooting wars and that capitalism tends toward and thrives on exploitation of the worker (so even if you still want capitalism, you should beware of laissez-faire and fight for regulation).

If you wanted to reorganize society though, maybe you could start here. :)
