What Politician/Thinker from the "Other Side" Can "Your Side" Learn Most From?

The Right could learn something from Marx.  At times they've learned the wrong thing - economic/class determinism, historical inevitability, etc.  But Marx's description of the alienation of the laborer from the act and product of labor under capitalism is worth considering. It does at least describe the experience of many people in their jobs - the loss that exists when work becomes merely a way to earn a wage (or a salary even), divorced from any creative or relational capacities.
Defenders of the free market need to grapple with the problem of a sense of lack of freedom people feel within the market.  They can also point out how the managerial/regulatory state only exacerbates this problem by restricting avenues for creativity uses of labor.

I've also been thinking about how postcolonialism can speak to anti-traditionalist/anti-local statist liberalism.  I imagine James C. Scott will be relevant here, though as a left-libertarian he has already broken the 'other side'/'your side' dichotomy.
