DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Major Achievements: Reorganization of overall research effort in order to product two rather than one book. The first (heavily research laden) to be used primarily with academic audiences rather than popular or "trade book." The second to be a much shorter book presenting basic arguments to popular audience. (The ongoing draft we have been working on fell between two audience targets: too long and detailed for popular audience, specially when adding new research developing internationally; too short for deep academic use.) Work on both books now mearing completion. Related foreign-political economic work continued on a modest basis.$0$53,024
Political economic research intensified on the new society (including "Toward a Democratic Sustainable Society Project") and on related institutional and systemic strategies: There has been an extraordinary explosion of interest and new research in this field around the country and the world in the recent period, forcing considerable additional research. Decided after review and discussions re publication options to alter book plans to deal with the new work.$0$0
