If not capitalism or socialism, then what? - Parecon!
February 11, 2006 - 02:33 AM

Capitalism is obviously not working out for the world. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

And socialism, despite its beautiful vision, failed to deliver what it promised, due to 4 fatal flaws (1, the difficulty of central planning; 2, trouble getting people motivated to work hard; 3, no incentive to invent things; 4, the liklihood of corruption when the economy is centralized.)

SO DOES THIS MEAN THERE IS NO HOPE? DOES THIS MEAN THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE?

NO!

THERE IS HOPE; THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE! PARECON is that.
