Participatory Democracy

omar, Tuesday, February 26, 2002 - 20:37

Participatory economics (or parecon for short) is the name of a type of economy proposed as a desirable alternative to contemporary capitalism.

The underlying values that parecon seeks to implement are:

equity
solidarity
diversity, and
participatory self management.

The main institutional vehicles to attain these ends are :

council democracy
balanced job complexes
remuneration according to effort and sacrifice, and
participatory planning.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Quebec City collective: no longer exist.

Get involved !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
