Who Does No Work, Shall Not Eat (parecon)

[John Thornton]

I have read 'Looking Forward', 'The Political Economy of Participatory
Economics' and I just finished 'Moving Forward'. Inspiring ,yes. I like to
read fairly original ideas for egalitarian societies but this isn't
realistic. My biggest objection (and I have several) is simply that
participation is required. It is not a right but an obligation.
