Moving Forward: Programme for a Participatory Economy

Great social movements need long-term goals for inspiration and guidance, and need a short-term programme for the immediate agenda. This was true for the movement to end slavery and for women’s suffrage, and for the labour, peace and civil rights movements throughout the 20th century. Michael Albert’s hope for this new book is to help a new economic movement settle on needed goals and programmes by highlighting four areas of visionary and strategic concern: remuneration, decision making, how workplaces should be organised, and how to decide on what is produced and consumed.
