In this candid memoir of a political renegade, Michael Albert offers a deeply personal account of recent American movements to transform inequality. A visionary figure, Albert recounts a life of uncompromising commitment—whether chronicling the surge of protests against the Vietnam War and his own political awakening as a member of SDS, or addressing the challenges of creating alternative social models. Reflections on the life of a campus agitator and would-be physicist cum radical economist, Remembering Tomorrow is a study in the profound hope that inspires social change.
