Last Straw

This is video is of Michael Albert, an eco­nomic vis­ion­ary and one of my favour­ite people, attempt­ing to describe an altern­at­ive eco­nomy — Par­ti­cip­at­ory Eco­nom­ics — in 30 minutes. I think he does quite well.

There’s more here, includ­ing a Q & A ses­sion and a descrip­tion from Jes­sica Azu­lay on how she and oth­ers put one of the insti­tu­tions of pare­con — bal­anced job com­plexes — into prac­tice as part of their busi­ness (see part 8).
