* ABOUT ROBIN HAHNEL: Robin Hahnel is Professor of Economics at American University. He is the author of Economic Justice and Democracy and co-author of The Political Economy of Participatory Economics. He has been active in many social movements and organizations in the past forty years.

* ABOUT PARTICIPATORY ECONOMICS: Participatory Economics, or "parecon" is an economic model invented by Robin Hahnel and Michael Albert which strives to achieve the economic goals of production, consumption and allocation while promoting solidarity, equity, diversity and self-management. Parecon achieves this with the institutions of balanced job complexes, self-managed council democracy, remuneration for sacrifice and effort, and participatory planning. Website: www.parecon.org

* ABOUT CAPES: CAPES is a new Chicago-area group dedicated to exploring, promoting, investigating, and implementing the model of participatory economics. We hold monthly informal meetings and encourage everyone interested to take part. Email: info@chicagoparecon.org
