I'm in the process of reading "Off The Books" by Sudhir Venkatesh. The insights into the underground economy are both eye-opening and a re-direction of focus on understanding one segment of a world not normally seem with eyes wide open. I've also been intrigued with a section of the website of the design firm IDEO called Patterns, Design Insights Emerging and Converging. Great topics and the redefinition of design and how we can use it to help in the economic situations we find ourselves in today.
