The co-hosts interview Michael Albert about his new book, No Bosses. He summarizes the main ideas and components of participatory economics (parecon) and discusses what’s new about his latest book. The discussion then turns to values, evaluations of what’s possible, and “old ideological scripture”––what roles do they play in working out an alternative future? Finally, Albert discusses how planning in a participatory economy would differ from central planning.
