From: "Michael Albert"
:

Is it socially valued labor? If you are good, of course it is. So, yes, that is a task we want to have done in a good economy. Of course, people who do art, or write, or do physics, or heart transplants, or fly airplanes, or whatever else -- all have balanced job complexes.

But if your key and defining work is, say, painting, then you work in that industry...being hired, or not, by your fellow artists (instead of funded, or not, by private capital or banks).

^^^^^ Charles Brown: Hello Doctor Albert. Welcome to the list.

How will private capital and bankers be expropriated of their power over industries, art and otherwise ?

Will people have a right to a decent, balanced job complex or income ?

How does parcecon preserve the power of women in making consumer choices ?

What form of the family is Parcecon premised upon ?

How does Parcecon stand in relation to the principles : from each according to ability to each according to need or work ? Is this its equity and diversity ?

Has parcecon been practiced anywhere ?

What is the role of computers in planning and compilation of consumer preferences ?
