Political authors and their creative solutions

Ok, here's the premise of the thread: List some political thinkers who you think have great ideas for making the world a better place, and provide a short description of who they are and what their great ideas are, and recommend some books from them. I'll go first:


Henry George -- If you've been around this forum long enough, then you know how much I look up to this guy. He shows how using a simple reform in our tax system, we can reduce poverty, reach full employment, improve the economy, reduce urban sprawl, and improve government accountability(while at the same time reducing the need for government). I sincerely believe that if his ideas were implemented, this world would be a much better place.
Recommended reading: Progress and Poverty; Social Problems

Paul Hawken -- This guy is a rare combination: an environmentalist and a businessman. He is one of the few people with an equally great grasp of both economy and ecology. In his books, he shows how sustainability can be profitable for businesses, and advises both business and government on how to improve the environment while helping the economy.
Recommended reading: The Ecology of Commerce; Natural Capitalism

Paul Stamets -- A man who I'm sure needs no introduction on this website. He explains how his techniques of mycofiltration, mycoremediation, and mycoforestry can promote sustainability on this planet. He shows how fungi can be used for everything from protecting one's house against pests to protecting the nation against bioterrorism.
