Participatory economics

Participatory Economics, or Parecon, is patent nonsense. Though Albert et.al have gone to great lengths in describing the vision, parecon is so completely and irredeemably confused that no intelligent person can be expected to try to make head nor tail of it.

• Strong Keep -- The above VfD is by an anonymous user at 69.238.54.102 and I consider this VfD to be a troll request. While I personally have many questions about and objections to parecon, several serious books have been written on this topic. Crackpot material like Ufology and Creationism are in Wikipedia and should be included so that people can become informed. If you can cite serious objections to parecon (or any topic), then please include such objections in Wikipedia so that nonsense can be overcome with information. WpZurp 21:30, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
