A Socialist Economy without Numbers?
from PEP Talk: The Participatory Economy Podcast · host Participatory Economy Project
Can a post-Capitalist socialist Economy exist without numbers? There are those who think it can. In this episode Mitchell, Robin and Antti are joined by accountant Anders Sandström (Author of Anarchist accounting) to discuss the topic of numbers in a socialist economy. Do we need numbers to measure the true social costs and opportunity costs of goods and services? Can everything be quantified, are there some things that simply can’t? Or are we doomed as Mark Twain once said to know ‘The Price of everything and the value of nothing’?Anarchist Accounting book: https://participatoryeconomy.org/book/anarchist-accounting/Support the showWebsite: https://www.ParticipatoryEconomy.orgYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ParticipatoryEconomyTwitter: https://twitter.com/pareconomyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParticipatoryEconomySupport Us: https://www.paypal.com/donate/…
