Realizing Hope : Life Beyond Capitalism

Realizing Hope offers a speculative vision of a future beyond capitalism - an alternative to the exploitation of human labour, the unchecked destruction of the earth, and the oppression of all for the benefit of the few. Participatory economics - parecon for short - is Albert's concrete proposal for a classless economy. In this classic text, Albert takes the insights and hopes of parecon and enlarges them to address all key aspects of social life and society
