I don't really know much about socialism, but I want to learn more. I also don't really know what kind of book I'm looking for, but I'm not really looking to read Marx at this point and I also don't want to read a pop economy book like Freakonomics. I want something a little more legit, or academic, I guess. I'm cool with classics, too, if there is a story out there that explores these themes.

Sorry if that's not much to go by, I'm having trouble articulating what it is I want to read

I've read The Conquest of Bread and I don't remember anything about talking about the economy and the State, wasn't it more like about how goods can be distributed in a society or something like that and proving it's possible to feed everyone in a nation and that basically the bourgeoisie produces the poor and hunger? Maybe I remember poorly, I've read it a while back and I used to smoke a lot of weed back then.
