  1. Mitchell Szczepanczyk, an experienced political activist and co-founded of the Chicago Area Participatory Economics Society, writes about how media might function in a participatory economy.

    In this model, media production would be collective and planned by worker and consumer councils, without profit motives. Media workers would be paid based on effort, ensuring more equitable and diverse media production.

  6. so i chatted with a marxist recently and they said what i proposed resembled #parecon and now i finally looked into it.

    and, like, wow, no.

    first of all it yet again tries to reinvent all of society completely, have it forced on everyone and destroy all competing models. just where do people get this sort of arrogance from?

    and how could people think that this resembles #anarchism? what's so hard to understand about noone getting to dictate other people's social relations?

  7. A research article presents simulations of the democratically planned economies with encouraging results:

    “…we explore one of these democratic planning models–#RobinHahnel and #MichaelAlbert’s model of a #ParticipatoryEconomy, focusing in particular on its allocation mechanism–a non-market, non-command-planning procedure known as participatory planning.”

    After an overview of #parecon, the article offers experts the full #simulation model and future prospects.

  12. > ... to judge both traditional and new economic institutions, we will ask whether they subvert or promote:
    1. Efficiency ..
    2. Equity ..
    3. Self-management ..
    4. Solidarity ..
    5. Variety (defined as a diversity of outcomes).
    We will also ask if economic institutions impose any biases on individual choice that impede these five aims by charging people other than the true social opportunity costs for activities.

  13. Verso books are massively reduced at the moment.

    Among others you can get the ebook "Parecon: Life After Capitalism" by Michael Albert for only 6$.

  14. The Socialist Banana Debate: Can abundance thrive under socialism?

    A thought experiment raises questions about production and consumption under #socialism. An engaging exploration of socialism, the role of markets, participatory #economy and the potential for universal prosperity, it asks whether bananas would be available if farmers, not corporations, were empowered.

  15. Michael Albert offers a critical response to the "necessity of balanced job complexes" by Mark Evans.

    While agreeing in principle with some "strategically easier options", the debate centers on whether job structures or ideological training primarily contribute to #ClassDivisions and how best to achieve a participatory #economy.

    #parecon #debate

  16. A ZOriginal explores if the capitalist division of labor is the true source of power, and if empowering / disempowering jobs are objective facts or ideological positions. Use it both as an introduction to participatory economics and as a critical look at its strategy.

    While not doubting the outcome - a participatory society - there may be an easier way to get there than the proposed balanced job complexes.

  17. The #ParEcon (participatory economics) project has a nicely designed website now. For example, learn about self-managing workplaces:

  18. I'm happy to be able to "express myself" out here, but I'm really searching for interdependent expression.

    Can our instances (neighborhoods, cozyweb groups, coops) start to align on aesthetics? Open source policies and budgets? Start to decide how we're actually going to do participatory economics/politics/culture things?

  19. @jgbarah

    This [1] looks like highly significant research for people interested in implementing #Parecon [2], one of the most interesting proposals for a viable, alternative economic system (alternative := not communism, not capitalism), along the lines of cooperatives, but more ambitious for a society-wide economy.

  20. "Participatory economics outlines in substantial detail a program of radical reconstruction, presenting a vision that draws from a rich tradition of thought and practice of the libertarian left and popular movements, but adding novel critical analysis and specific ideas and modes of implementation for constructive alternatives. It merits close attention, debate, and action."

  21. @LWFlouisa @Smithums sure it does, as the Michael Albert's work on #Parecon. But the question, as with any utopian schema, is how to bootstrap it? Don't get me wrong, I think that utopias are useful thought experiments. But in practice, we have to start where we are, and iterate towards the possibilities sketched out in them.
