Let's keep building the reading list! Check 'yes' on this poll if you've added at least one new book to the readings spreadsheet

I feel like I am not familiar enough with the field to suggest books yet, but looking forward to read the next book selection

Hi all,

sorry for letting the past week fly by without any updates. I am now selecting the books using https://www.random.org/ to randomly select the 8 books that will be put to the votes. Poll coming soon! :)

@michelekipiel Could you add this book to the master list, out of which you do random selections:
- Capra & Mattei (2015), The ecology of law - Toward a legal system in tune with nature and community, Berrett-Koehler.

Toward a law framework for post-capitalism.

Hi @mikeh8 , the reading selection spreadsheet can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZvZ_MLq1dAVBCY7-e9Iylg-qxWYqkcptjvOnkyOTeTA/edit?usp=sharing.

There are also descriptions for the books there as well which helps with selection.

Thanks Emi. I did discover the spreadsheet after I’d posted my query. Unfortunately, I don’t use resources that require a Google ID.

Hi @mikeh8, I added that book personally as soon as the list was created :) Such a great read!

If there are no objections, I can convert the spreadsheet to an Ethercalc document...

Works for me, let's wait for some more feedback though :)

Outcome

And the winner is... "Values at Work Employee Participation Meets Market Pressure at Mondragon" by G. Cheney!

Let the reading begin :)

As usual, I I will set up a poll in the coming days to pick a date for the discussion call next month.

Let's choose the next book we want to read!

The book descriptions can be found on this spreadsheet.

@michelekipiel I'd much rather be doing a dot-vote on this, since there are only one or two books I'm keen to read. Sorting eight into a hierarchy is more work than I feel like giving to the remainder. And might seem to support them.

Matthew CroppSun 8 Jul 2018 7:18PM

Dot voting on this type of decision doesn't work well (tried it in a different reading group, and we decided ranked choice works better), but what I prefer is to have it set to only rank the top four of the eight. The flow of the approved decision making process is in the description of the sub-group for reference.

Also, @michelekipiel, I'm going to edit the description of the poll to embed the link to the spreadsheet so folks can easily access the book descriptions.

Thanks!

Really excited to read this one! @mattnoyes selections seem to be good ones... ;)

Matt NoyesMon 16 Jul 2018 10:11PM

You're too kind. Actually, this time I am confident we can set up a follow-up chat with George Cheney.

The original publication date is 1999. The Updated Edition is 2002. My library system has the original. Amazon.com sells the Updated Edition for $25. I wonder what’s in the update.

I just requested this via inter-library loan, so if it arrives in time to read, I'll be excited to join the discussion.
