How could things work otherwise? (sorry it's not news)

The left needs an idea, a solid way of creating and working a diverse and equal society, and Das Kapital is somewhat out of date. Any ideas? (Sorry it's not news)

I have thought long and hard, would an anarchist model with few boundaries or a socialist model with state controlled industry be more workable. Before we can change the world we must decide how, i'd gratly appreciate reading your ideas.

Participatory Economics (parecon for short) is a type of economy proposed as an alternative to contemporary capitalism.

The underlying values parecon seeks to implement are equity, solidarity, diversity, and participatory self management.

The main institutions to attain these ends are council democracy, balanced job complexes, remuneration according to effort and sacrifice, and participatory planning.

The parecon vision is spelled out in numerous books, the latest of which is Michael Albert’s ParEcon: Life After Capitalism. Some of these books are available, in full, on this site. To explore the site, click on any of the above links. If this is your first time visiting ParEcon.org, be sure to check out our Introductory Materials.
