Program for a Participatory Economy
Michael Albert, AK Press
The whole book is online here
Albert lays out the vision and strategy for his revolutionary “participatory economy” idea. He argues that we have to change how we conceive of work and wages, rewarding effort and sacrifice rather than output, and restructuring work so that everyone can become involved in controlling their workplaces. From here he moves to a proposal for how we might organize the larger functions of the economy in workers’ councils and a general discussion of how our society might look with a participatory economy, and, uniquely in this volume, program for getting there.
