He is the author of numerous books and articles on alternative or participatory models of economics such as the Porto Alegre model. He is a prominent speaker at events such as the World Social Forum. He is perhaps best known for his work as one of the founders of Znet which is one of the most important activist networks and host to blogs by Noam Chomsky amongst many others.

Not to be missed.
