Recent book I picked up as I thought it would be interesting and fits my social/economic views very well. It's published by Christian publisher Canon Press.
The subtitle for the book is "How Bulgarian Greens, Swedish Housewives, and Beer-Swilling Englishmen Created Family-Centered Economies - And Why They Disappeared"
The book's idea is that unbridled Capitalism with the Industrial Revolution has destroyed the family (women working in the workplace, daycare, removal of the family wage, turning productive homes into consumption centers and megacorps buying up tons of land). Communism is even worse than unbridled Capitalism.
Many countries during the late 1800s and through the 1960s found "Third Ways" to these two systems. G.K Chesterton proposed a solution called "Distributism" for example. There's also great examples of other "Third Ways" found in Sweden, Russia (prior to the Bolsheviks), Hungary, Bulgaria and Poland.
The book's ending idea seems to be that a form of Christian Capitalism where:
-Megacorps are disincentivized
-Family businesses and farms are incentivized
-Marriage is promoted
-Procreation is promoted
-Land as a speculative/investment vehicle is disallowed as God made land to be productive
-Globalist corps and foreign entities are not allowed to own land and existing land is redistributed from these global corps and foreign entities
-The private property rights of the individual and family is upheld to the uttermost
