Yesterday I received in the mail the Korean edition of the book Parecon: Life After Capitalism. It is very elegant looking, but of course I couldn't read a word. If there is anyone out there from Korea who gets a copy of the book and reads through...
Albert: Advocating Parecon: An Organization

What about creating an organization of pareconists, so to speak? I don't know whether this would be positive if it were it to grow to considerable size, nor even whether it would grow at all, for that matter. So this is an idea that pounds away in...

We all know lots of people who think Òthere is no alternativeÓ (TINA) to capitalism. And we all know that on the left it is now de rigour to emphasize the slogan Òanother world is possible.Ó Neither stance is an argument, however.

George… About your first point: A parecon is workers' and consumers' councils inside a country. Having a parecon would remove class differences, make incomes equitable, eliminate economic alienation, deliver economic self-management, atte...

Dear Michael, It seems to me that in responding to my questions, you have restated your wishes, but have failed to demonstrate how those wishes might be fulfilled. You claim, for example, that people will "modify [their] requests" for goods an...

Dear Michael, 1. Summing Up: I suppose one function of these closing statements is to establish whether we seem closer or further away at the end of these exchanges than we were at the beginning. In some respects, I feel vindicated in ...
