Abstract:
What does a democratic economy look like? In this session we will be presenting a vision of a long term alternative to capitalism known as a Participatory Economy developed by
radical economists Michael Albert and Robin Hahnel. The vision is rooted in the libertarian socialist tradition drawing from lessons learnt from experiments throughout history, and
current practices in worker cooperatives and participatory budgeting. A Participatory Economy is based on democratic workplaces and neighbourhoods participating in democratic planning of the economy.
