I don't think most people on this list were too hot on Alberts Parecon but I may have. He was on the list for a week or so some time back but it didn't generate as much discussion as I expected. Other than the uncertainty that people could actually generate the lists of needs and wants required I have no other major concerns with the idea. I like most of the idea but I just don't know if it would work.
