Andy, you might be interested in the work of Stefan Meretz in
Germany. He works on free and open software, such as Linux, which are
set up so that those who develop it do not and cannot make money on
it. He sees it as the basis for thinking a new society. Parallel to
it is his effort of 'open theory', which is developed at the group
level but in a way that ALL participate and contribute to the
development of theory (as in open software).
Here his web site, where the links are for different projects, which
also includes Critical Psychology, founded by the German Marxist
psychologist Klaus Holzkamp:
I don't know whether he has written anything in English, though.
