Moving Forward: Program for a Participatory Economy
If not capitalism, then what? Something's not working, but there's a dearth of material on what could be right - and more important how to change things. Laying out strategy & vision for his "participatory economics," Albert argues that we must change the way we view work & wages and restructure our workplaces so that everyone can become involved in controlling their working lives. The third in his "Forward" books is written in clear language and will be of interest to those just beginning to question capitalist logic & to experienced activists. Using real-world examples, Albert offers today's political discontents a valuable tool. Michael Albert is a co-founder of both South End Press and Z magazine and lives in Woods Hole.

Un ouvrage passionnant, à la fois théorique et pratique, qui propose un autre modèle économique et de société, « après le capitalisme ». Si dans le détail je ne suis pas convaincu à 100% par toutes les réponses apportées par l’auteur, les questions posées me semblent très pertinentes, tout comme les pistes soulevées et les objectifs visés.
