Second, the Vancouver Parecon Collective has asked Noam Chomsky to 
comment on the importance of organizing for a Participatory Economy. 
Here is what he has to say:

"A great many activists and concerned people ask, quite rightly, what
alternative form of social organization can be imagined that might 
overcome
the grave flaws -- often real crimes -- of contemporary society in more
far-reaching ways than short-term reform.  Parecon is the most serious
effort I know to provide a very detailed possible answer to some of 
these
questions, crucial ones, based on serious thought and careful analysis."

We hope you'll check out our website, explore the materials there, and 
sign up to our mailing list.
