well, as someone who tries to keep up with the schmucks at the WTO & all our horrific Trade deals (NAAFTA, CAAFTA, AFTA, etc), well, some web pal sent me to
ZNet where ParEcon is a huge subject.
But I am a rookie in economics regarding real world fallout & how it inter-relates to battles & struggles of those who actually DO use capitalism for fair trade...
so help me out.
here's the link & their opening paragraph::
http://www.zmag.org/...
"Participatory Economics (Parecon for short) is a type of economy proposed as an alternative to contemporary capitalism. The underlying values are equity, solidarity, diversity, and participatory self management. The main institutions are workers and consumers councils utilizing self managed decision making, balanced job complexes, remuneration according to effort and sacrifice, and participatory planning. This page links to articles, interviews, talks, instructionals, Q/A sessions, and books about parecon and closely related
matters. "
