Professor E.Altvater is not often translated into English (probably a hard sell) an older publication of his relevant to our discussion is available from Barnes and Noble. It is titled: The Future of the Market: An Essay on the Regulation of Money and Nature after the Collapse of 'Actually Existing Socialism'.
