DESCRIPTION:ANARCHIST ECONOMICS CLASS  bi-weekly class  Wed. 7:00 - 9:00 PM  class 
 begins Feb. 2nd  room 208 Upper Level Student Union, Phelan Campus, CCSF    
 What type of economic systems will exist in an egalitarian,  self-managed 
 society? What have anarchism and libertarian socialism  had to say about 
 the structure and function of such an economy? The  purpose of this class 
 is to provide a forum for discussion in an  attempt to answer these 
 questions. We will start by defining  capitalism and with an overview of 
 economic theory from an anarchist  perspective. We will then discuss one 
 such economic framework,  participatory economics (parecon), in 
 considerable detail. Once we  have a good grasp on the parecon model, we 
 will discuss some of the  specific criticisms levelled against it, as well 
 as other visions for  an egalitarian society such as libertarian communism 
 and libertarian  municipalism.  Along with several provided articles, we 
 will be reading "Parecon" by  Michael Albert. The book will be made 
 available for purchase, but the  entire text is also available for free on 
 the internet.  This will be a bi-weekly discussion class beginning 
 Wednesday,  February 2nd (7pm to 9pm), and lasting throughout the Spring 
 semester.  AS ALWAYS YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE ENROLLED AS A STUDENT AT CCSF TO 
 ATTEND  EITHER OF THESE CLASSES.  \n
