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." - Noam Chomsky for the Vancouver Parecon Collective You can down load our presentations from the web: "Parecon & Other Alternatives to Capitalism" - Audio http://www.radio4all.net/proginfo.php?id=9200 UBC Global Justice T.V. presentation- Video Down load the file by clicking on the link then watch in your media player. http://globaljustice.ca/video/parecon.mov
