BTW the new Spring 2002 issue of Science & Society has an article "Socialist Calculation and Environmental Valuation: Money, Markets and Ecology" by John O'Neill which focuses between the parallels between the debates over ecological economics and the socialist calculation debate between Hayek and Neurath. O'Neill takes the position that many of Neurath's ideas concerning socialist economic planning are still relevant today for both socialists and greens.

Menand's book is a good one, but too bad he had relatively little to say about the impact of Pragmatism on socialist thought in the US, which was a phenomenon that predated Hook.
