PARECOMIC: THE STORY OF MICHAEL ALBERT AND PARTICIPATORY ECONOMICS
Book ID/图书代码： 12070012B58722
English Summary/英文概要： Parecomic is a graphic novel about something that affects us all: the system we live in--what’s wrong with it, and how we might be able change it for the better. Written by Sean Michael Wilson, and drawn by Carl Thompson, Parecomic is about Michael Albert--the visionary behind "participatory economics"--and his life’s struggle as a left-wing activist in the US.
Proposed as an alternative to capitalism, participatory economics (parecon, for short) values equity, solidarity, diversity, and participatory self-management. In Albert’s vision, workers and consumers councils use self-managed decision-making, balanced job complexes, renumeration according to duration, intensity, and onerousness of socially valued labor; and participatory planning.
Parecomic will guide readers through this anarchist-influenced economic system, alongside the biography that led to its development--beginning with the heady days of 1960s student demos and lifestyle rebellions; following the developments of the antiwar, civil rights, woman’s, and Black Panthers movements; to the establishment of alternative media like South End Press and ZNet.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《参与性经济》是一本生动的小说，它能够影响我们的一切：我们所生活的系统--它有什么问题以及我们怎么能改变它使它变得更好。这本书的作者是Sean Michael Wilson ，绘画者是Carl Thompson，《参与性经济》是关于Michael Albert---“参与经济”背后的远见--以及他在美国作为左翼活动家的一生奋斗经历。
作为一种替代资本主义的建议，参与性的经济学（简称parecon）强调公平、团结、多样性和参与式的自我管理。在Albert看来，工人和消费者委员会使用自我管理进行制定决策、平衡工作混合物、根据社会价值劳动的时间、强度和繁重劳动进行重新编号和参与性计划。
《参与性经济》将通过这种无政府主义影响的经济系统引导读者，通过传记引领它的发展--20世纪60年代开始，出现了学生演示和生活方式的叛乱；关注反战、民权、女人和黑豹党人运动的发展；建立像南边新闻和ZNet那样的另一种媒体。(LNL)
