Participatory Economics Talk
Participatory Economics is a radical current which seems to be based on reimagining a world beyond capitalism based on collective decision-making, but without the top down planning of state socialism. Must admit that's where my knowledge of it ends, not sure how this differs from good old fashioned anarchism (but there's a debate on this very subject here). But if you want to find out more you can go along to a talk and workshop with Ed Augustin from the Project for a Participatory Society at Goldmsiths in New Cross on Wednesday 21st October, 5 - 7 pm in Room RHB 137a (all welcome - i.e. you don't have to be a student).
