Editorial Reviews

Review

“... this participatory vision is what Albert successfully provides for activists and academics alike, with the hope that it will be used to inspire social projects aimed at defeating inequality and leading to people democratically managing their own lives.”—Rob Maguire, ZNet

Parecon is a pragmatic and visionary programme that would certainly boost human freedom; we ought at least to try it out.”—Red Pepper

“an imaginative, carefully reasoned description, persistently provocative, of how we might live free from economic injustice.”—Howard Zinn

“It merits close attention, debate, and action.”—Noam Chomsky

“Albert is ideally suited to synthesizing all the strands running through the anti-capitalist movement.”—
The Ecologist

Parecon is a brave argument for ... a much needed ... more equitable, democratic, participatory ... alternative economic vision.”—Arrundhati Roy

“A historically informed and logical economic blueprint with the practicality of a hand-tool, and a vision guided by the desire to find nobility in work.”—
Kirkus Reviews

“He is advocating a top to bottom economic revolution.”—
Library Journal

“Capitalism not working for you? Michael Albert may be tilting at windmills, but readers are flocking to his book on a system to spread the wealth and work.”—
Los Angeles Times

“an important contribution to the imaginative tools for everyone who wants to dismantle capitalism.”—
International Socialism

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Michael Albert has been a political activist and radical publisher and author for his whole adult life.

Schooled in the 1960s, he was highly active at MIT and in the Boston/Cambridge area, as well as nationally. He later helped found the U.S. book publisher South End Press, the monthly periodical Z Magazine, the Z Media Institute, the noted international website ZNet (www.zcomm.org/znet), and numerous other projects.

Author of over 20 books and hundreds of articles, teacher, organizer, and innovator, Albert is perhaps best known as co-creator with Robin Hahnel of the economic vision called participatory economics.

Albert's most recent books (both Fall 2017) are Practical Utopia, "a succinct and thoughtful discussion of ambitious goals and practical principles of creating a desirable society," and RPS/2044, An Oral History of the Next American Revolution.

Albert can be reached via the email sysop@zmag.org or the website ZNet.
